I'm not really sure who you are or why you are posting anonymously, but I've got sitting in front of me here a signed copy of the letter written by Jennifer Carroll, Marketing and Business Development Manager of eEye. It's dated Aug 25th. If you do indeed work for eEye, I'd encourage you to formally address us.
Not only was eEye fully aware of our review, eEye gave us a full license key. And yes, we did update the product. I'm continually amazed by the amount of BS posted on these threads. I'll post the serial # if there are any further doubts.
I'm one of the authors of the article in question, and would like to address a few points being made:
1. Thanks for the feedback - it will be well received.
2. NWC has a lead time of 2-3 months. There is no way around this - the mag goes to film almost a month before the world sees it. So those tests were done back in October - it's not that we are THAT behind, the content is just a little older.
3. Please don't assume that we are idiots. Yes, we applied all of the Nessus plugins. No, we did not install it from some old Linux distro. Ask Renaud who I am, he'll tell you. Give us some credit here guys....
4. I've been writing for NWC for 4 years, and I have not ONCE been asked to modify my writings due to advertising. NWC takes editorial integrity very seriously. Take that for whatever it's worth...
5. The point on the update times/procedures is a valid one, and unfortunately not one we had room to address properly (we're limited in word count). Next time we do this we'll attempt to address this.
Again, thanks for the feedback.

I have reason to believe that this person was, indeed, from eEye, but who knows. No - he/she/it never got back to me/us. -G
Cisco was invited, but declined to participate.
