Nessus is a proprietary vulnerability scanner developed by Tenable, Inc. ==History== In 1998 Renaud Deraison created The Nessus Project as a free remote security scanner. On October 5 2005, with the release of Nessus 3, the project changed from the GNU General Public License to a proprietary license. The Nessus 2 engine and some of the plugins are still using the GNU General Public License, leading to forks based on Nessus like OpenVAS and Greenbone Sustainable Resilience. ==See also== Metasploit Project OpenVAS Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks (SATAN) SAINT (software) Snort (software) Wireshark ==References== ==External links== Nessus 2.2.11 files and source code Nessus source code up to 2.2.9
