network audit tools


In the Sixteenth episode of Team Cymru’s ‘The Who and Why Show’, we have the fourth in an occasional series designed to directly assist network administrators, looking at various Open Source Tools that can be used to check and secure systems. Today we talk with Ron Gula of Tenable Network Security about NESSUS, a vulnerability scanner designed to enable you to audit anything attached to your network. These short overviews will give you a good grounding in the basics of the tool and also perhaps enlighten long time users to some of the upcoming features for future versions.
