It is multi-threaded and plug-in-based, has a GTK interface, and performs over 500 remote security checks. It allows for reports to be generated in HTML, XML, LaTeX, and ASCII text, and suggests solutions for security problems. Changes: EGD support for OpenSSL added. Memory leaks in nessusd and a security problem with1.1.x series where anybody with a shell on the nessusd host could log in have been fixed. KB items now have a timestamp associated with them and KB is not altered when a ping fails.
