Package description for 'nessus'

Nessus security scanner

 The "Nessus" Project aims to provide to the Internet community a free,
 powerful, up-to-date and easy to use remote security scanner.

 A security scanner is a software which will audit remotely a given network
 and determine whether bad guys (aka 'crackers') may break into it, or 
 misuse it in some way.

 Unlike many other security scanners, Nessus does not take anything for 
 granted. That is, it will not consider that a given service is running on
 a fixed port - that is, if you run your web server on port 1234, Nessus 
 will detect it and test its security. It will not make its security tests
 regarding the version number of the remote services, but will really 
 attempt to exploit the vulnerability.

 Nessus is very fast, reliable and has a modular architecture that allows 
 you to fit it to your needs.
