Why do you think they did away with nessus? I guess I'll have to compile from source.

[slakkie]

That is a good question, you can ask on #ubuntu-devel or the mailing list..

After coming back to this WAY later, I've discovered nessus has been replaced by OpenVAS.

Description: Remote network security auditor, the client
The OpenVAS Security Scanner is a security auditing tool. It makes
possible to test security modules in an attempt to find vulnerable
spots that should be fixed.
.
It is made up of two parts: a server, and a client. The server/daemon,
openvasd, is in charge of the attacks, whereas the client,
OpenVAS-Client, provides the user a nice X11/GTK+ interface.
.
This package contains the GTK+ client.

I'm so glad we finally got a FULLY open-source vuln scanner, that includes more than just the old vulns for free!
