Download Nessus 2.0.12

The Nessus Project is further developing Nessus, a security scanner that can scan a network for known exploits and open services. Please note that the program may only be used if you have permission to check the security of the network. The list with exploits and open services is very large and can possibly be further expanded with own written scripts. The package runs on most Posix systems including MacOS X, FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris, among others. Recently, version 2.0.12 has been released in the stable branch with the following changelog:

What is new in Nessus 2.0.12, compared to 2.0.11:

• Fixed a bug in ./configure which would sometimes assume that GTK is not installed whereas it actually is.
• Fixed a race condition in nessus-adduser for users who do not configure their TMPDIR variable (thanks to Cyrille Barthelemy).
• Fixed a bug in nessus-update-plugins which would not update the plugins properly on all systems (thanks to Keith Butler).
• Fixed the installer to compile Nessus with GTK support if gtk-config OR pkg-config is installed.
