nessus-2.0.4.tar.gz

Posted Apr 18, 2003

Authored by Renaud Deraison | Site nessus.org

Nessus is a free, up-to-date, and full featured remote security scanner for Linux, BSD, Solaris and other systems. It is multithreaded, plugin-based, has a nice GTK interface, and currently performs over a thousand remote security checks. It has powerful reporting capabilities (HTML, LaTeX, ASCII text) and not only points out problems, but suggests a solution for each of them. Windows version available here.

Changes: Fixed the SIGCHLD handler which would leave zombies on the system, fixed a race condition when testing a great number of hosts which would cause a testing process to slow down a whole audit or even hang it totally, When a large number of host names is passed to nessusd as a target, they are resolved by chunks of 64 instead of trying to resolve everything before starting the test, and includes RedHat 9 support.
