MacNessus 0.1 released

Posted by deepquest on September 13, 2004 – 10:49 pm

Nessus was missing a GUI to run nessus client for ages on Mac. An old version, back in the years allowed to use a java nessus client on MacOS 8.5 or 9. The only work around was the use of fink or darwinPort to run a GUI with X11, but only the console version was available without any 3rd party extension.
Things now changed

Nessus is a great up to date vulnerability scanner running a client-server architecture. We posted few months ago[url=http://deepquest.code511.com/blog/comments.php?id=P146_0_1_0_C]running in 20 steps on OSX[/url] a how to run nessus with [url=http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/]Darwin Port[/url].

Finally someone took care of developing a Nessus client called MacNessus. It’s the first release (v0.1) still buggy but looks promising!
