The 'Nessus' Project was started in early 1998, and first released in
|
|
April 1998. At this time, the most complete free security scanner was
|
|
SATAN, which is clearly outdated, and you could see the emergence of
|
|
several commercial ones, that were clearly too expensive.
|
|
|
|
The Nessus Security Scanner is not only another security auditing tool. It
|
|
is a security auditing as I think it should be - never trust the version
|
|
number, never trust that a given service is listenning on the good port
|
|
(do all the web servers on earth listen on port 80 ?).
|
|
|
|
The Nessus Security Scanner is free, open-sourced and wants to be easy to
|
|
use.
