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.
