NessusWC - Nessus Web Management
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
DETAILS
NessusWC is a GPL based tool that provides a simple HTTP Web interface for
the Nessus Security Scanner. It connects to local and remote Nessus
version 2 daemons via SSL (using OpenSSL libraries), retrieves the
plugins, configures a scan for a single target host, and saves the results
in HTML format. As a result, even users with limited security knowledge
can scan their machines. Scan results are stored in a central place.
NessusWC development goals were pure simplicity. No Java, PHP, databases
or other enabling technology must be maintained. No cookies either. Just
plain CGI technology written in 'C'.
The benefit is a centrally located scan client that keeps all results in
one place. The design is kept so simple, even a non-IT person could start
a scan. The ultimate goal is the design of a ["Scan-Me"] button that takes
the users IP and gives it a pre-defined scan as a self-service
application.
NessusWC has been developed for use with a Apache webserver under Linux,
connecting to a Nessus v.2.2.0 server and is using libraries such as:
* GNU libc
* OpenSSL
* CGIC
