12:08 PM | Posted by Ramy

Nessus is an open-source network vulnerability scanner that uses the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures architecture for easy cross-linking between compliant security tools. Nessus employs the Nessus Attack Scripting Language (NASL), a simple language that describes individual threats and potential attacks.





Nessus has a modular architecture consisting of centralized servers that conduct scanning, and remote clients that allow for administrator interaction. Administrators can include NASL descriptions of all suspected vulnerabilities to develop customized scans. Significant capabilities of Nessus include:

• Compatibility with computers and servers of all sizes.

• Detection of security holes in local or remote hosts.

• Detection of missing security updates and patches.

• Simulated attacks to pinpoint vulnerabilities.

• Execution of security tests in a contained environment.

• Scheduled security audits.




The Nessus server is currently available for Unix, Linux and FreeBSD. The client is available for Unix- or Windows-based operating systems.
