Nessus is a security scanner that crawls across a network, looking
|
|
for well-known vulnerabilities and common misconfiguration.
|
|
|
|
It has a unique set of features, including automatic SSL discovery,
|
|
services recognition (so it will catch, for instance, a FTP server
|
|
running on a port different than 21) and its own scripting language.
|
|
|
|
The Nessus Security Scanner is released under the GNU General Public
|
|
Licence and aims to be easy to use while extremely powerful.

|
PS: To install the lot in one operation, do nessus-plugins-devel first.
|
|
|
|
The -devel branch is Nessus 1.3.x. Its aim is to make the code much more
|
|
robust and much faster than in Nessus 1.2.x. Use with care!
