OpenVAS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OpenVAS (OpenSource Vulnerability Assessment Scanner), previously GNessUs, is a GPL fork of the Nessus security scanner to allow future free development of the now-proprietary tool.
OpenVAS was originally proposed by pentesters at Portcullis Computer Security and then announced by Tim Brown on Slashdot. OpenVAS was a member project of Software in the Public Interest but has been voted out because the project appears to be dead.[1] The OpenVAS domains were donated by SecuritySpace, hosting was donated by Nth Dimension/Public Internet and DevCon 1 conference fees were paid for by Intevation and DN Systems.
