Hi All,
Is https://vulndetect.com a dead program?
I can find no place on their web site to order.
I have written them several times and they ghost me.
Is this company out of business?
Many thanks,

I would guess some engine component is stored on the thing needing
a firewall opening. The part that does the billing, likely
has a working email.
While at one time, there was the notion that some part
of this was free, it's really hard to tell from the Archive.org
breadcrumbs.
There is vulndetect.com and vulndetect.org and at some point
secteer enters the picture.

It's not a dead program in my book.
It's my favorite Updater program currently.
It's free for personal use. It does require registration with an email address.
Their Forum and the Download link are at https://vulndetect.org/

Maybe at winston's cite of their price quote request page:
https://secteer.com/request-quote/
Since they won't divulge prices at their web site, quoting a price
depends on how deep is your pocket; i.e., charge what a customer is
willing to bear. They probably want to license by seats at the same organization, so you probably can't use it as a toolbar utility wherever
you want. Your customers will have to buy it.
From https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/515109-07#overview, I only
see investment of seed money back in Nov 2022.
There personal-use version is free. It's their business license that
costs money.

The third time I did request a quote, a sale man
responded. A one to 20 seat license is 900 U$D a year.
Way out of my customer's range.
I asked the salesman what he could do for seven seats
of the personal edition. I am still waiting.
I see Vicarius wants $5 per seat per month
https://www.vicarius.io/pricing
or $420 /yr for seven seats. Much better.
All I need to know is when a program has a
vulnerability/critical update pending and
nothing else. Automatic patches, etc. is out.
So I am still looking.
My head is spinning that SUMo closed.
You guys know of anything that might fit the bill?

"Download SecTeer Personal VulnDetect - an alternative to the long lost Secunia PSI"
Wasn't Secunia PSI free? If so, for Vulndetect (Personal) to be an alternative means it should also be free.
Secunia's PSI got dropped, and users dropped it because it was free.
Secunia is still in the vulnerability analysis market. You might want
to get a quote from Flexera (they acquired Secunia in 2015) on their
Software Vulnerability Manager to see if it is cheaper or more expensive
than Vulndetect.
If you thought $900 (per year? per seat?) was expensive, vulnerability analysis and protection isn't cheap often running $1000 to $4500 per
year. Take a look at Astra's prices:
https://www.getastra.com/pentest/pricing
With PSI, Sumo, and other freebies, all they were was software update checkers. They'd see if you were missing updates. Since the OS and
most apps already have their own update checkers, PSI and the others
lost their importance. Vulnerability testing and analysis, on the other hand, is a hell of lot more testing, and takes a lot more work on your
part to understand, and covers the high-tech support needed for those products and services. They really aren't do-it-yourself-alone software updaters.
I don't remember PSI *ever* performing vulnerability testing, just
software updating. Well, hell, there are lots of software update
checkers. Even CCleaner has a very basic Software Update checker (as
long as you don'g disable outbound connections through a firewall as I
did to eliminate Avast's addition of their adware platform to CCleaner).
https://www.lifewire.com/free-software-updater-programs-2625200
You mentioned uCheck. Yep, just another software update checker.
Nothing to do with vulnerability testing and analysis. Between Windows having its own update checking (which I disable until I prepare, like assigning the time, saving an image backup, and having initiative to
bother changing the state of the OS), and almost all programs I've
installed having their own update checker (although some just alert
there is a new update rather than downloading and installing it), I have found no need for a software update checker tool. Those promote you to
make more changes than really needed for your setup.
You don't let your customers do the software updates themselves, right? That's what they pay you for. If you give them software updaters,
they'll fuck up their setups, and you'll have to undo their screwups.
Or maybe that's your covert agenda to generate more work and revenue.

PCI-DSS-v4-0-SAQ-C-r1, 6.3.3, pg 32
6.3.3. pg 32: All system components are protected from
known vulnerabilities by installing applicable security
patches/updates as follows:
• Critical or high-security patches/updates (identified
according to the risk ranking process at Requirement
6.3.1) are installed within one month of release.
I "only" have to install "Critical or high-security patches/updates".
An update checker, such as the now defunct SUMo which
also shows "Critical" security updates, is exactly
what I am after.
And the market is blurring "Vulnerability" with "Critical or
high-security patches/updates" and "Exploits". Those big
packages are much different than update checkers, which only tell
you what is out of date. The big packages also check for
"Exploits", which they also call "vulnerabilities".
And make a Google search a nightmare.
But SUMo and the non-business version of VulnCheck tell
you if there is also a security (blurring the word
"Vulnerability") update pending. And that is what I
am after.
Ucheck only tells you if there is an update, which does
also cover security and feature updates. For the
extraordinary price, I will have to just live with it.
I do not like wasting my customer's money on updates that are
not required by PCI. But it is going to be way cheaper
that VulnCheck, so I should stop being a perfectionist.
An update checker, such as the now defunct SUMo which
also shows "Critical" security updates, is exactly
what I am after.

I haven't used them, but someone mentioned Avast, which made me
remember that Avast had some kind of update checker.
So I went to the 'For business' section on avast.com and as I
understand it, you could get/use 'Avast Business Patch Management' at
$16.42 per seat per year (discount for higher numbers of seats).

They also have a driver update checker, too.
https://www.avast.com/en-us/driver-updater#pc
($44/year subscriptionware)
I don't use 3rd-party update checkers, so I have no idea how this one
works other than it focuses on drivers, not apps. They have a separate
app update checker noted at:
https://www.avast.com/c-software-updater-tool
They mention it is an integrated feature in their Avast One product, but
it might be available separately. Couldn't tell if it is integrated
with their Essential (free) or payware version of Avast One. The
download link point to a file called:
avast_one_free_antivirus.exe
So, I suspect to get their software update checker has you get their
free Essential edition of Avast One.
