Nessus 1.1.7 (Experimental) by Matthias Saou (http://freshmeat.net/users/matthiassaou/) Monday, October 22nd 2001 16:23 Category: Security About: Nessus is a remote security scanner for Linux, BSD, Solaris, and other Unices. 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: This release compiles on platforms without OpenSSL, has better Solaris support, and has been ported to Cygwin and Darwin. Unscanned ports can now be considered as closed or open (instead of just open) at users' choice. libtool has been upgraded to 1.4.2. A bug in the client which would make it display the wrong report when doing multiple scans has been fixed. The plugins filter has been enhanced. A serious problem in the SMB plugins has been fixed. nessus-mkrand has been added for hosts with no /dev/random and no EGD running.
