Nessus- Network Vulnerablity Scanner 2 
http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
Nessus: A security vulnerability scanning tool 
• Remote security scanning tool 
• Raises an alert if it discovers any vulnerabilities that malicious hackers could exploit 
• Runs over 1200 checks to test if any of the attacks could be used to break in 
• Used by network administrators 
Nessus- Network Vulnerablity Scanner 3 
http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
History 
• Started by Renaud Deraison in 1998 
• The motive was to provide to the Internet community a free remote security scanner 
• On October 5, 2005, Tenable Network Security changed Nessus 3 to a proprietary 
(closed source) license 
• In July 2008, Tenable Network Security sent out a revision of the feed license that 
allowed home users full access to plugin feeds

The Nessus Architecture 
• Nessus is based upon a client-server model 
• The Nessus server: nessusd 
• Responsible for performing the actual vulnerability tests 
• Listening to incoming connections from Nessus clients that end users use to 
configure and launch specific scans 
• Nessus clients must authenticate to the server before they are allowed to 
launch scans 
• This architecture makes it easier to administer the Nessus installations

http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
Operation 
• Nessus allows scans for : 
• Vulnerabilities that allow a remote hacker to control or access sensitive data 
• Misconfiguration : open mail relay, missing patches 
• Denial of service against the TCP/IP stack by using mangled packets 
• Preparation for PCI DSS audits 
Nessus- Network Vulnerablity Scanner 6 
http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
Operation 
• Steps Involved : 
• Nessus starts with a port scan, with one of its internal port scanners 
• To determine which ports are open on the target 
• Trying various exploits on the open ports 
• Vulnerability tests 
• Written in NASL (Nessus Attack Scripting Language) 
• Results of the scan can be reported in various formats, such as plain 
text, XML, HTML and LaTeX 
• The results can also be saved in a knowledge base for debugging

http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
NASL : Nessus Attack Scripting Language 
• Scripting Language used by Nessus to form Attacks to detect vulnerability 
• Guarantees : 
• Will not send packets to any other hosts than target 
• Will execute commands on only local systems 
• Optimized built-in functions to perform Network related tasks like : 
• Socket operations 
• Open connection if port is open 
• Forge IP/TCP/ICMP packets 
Nessus- Network Vulnerablity Scanner 9 
http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
Features 
• Provides remote and local (authenticated) security checks 
• A client/server architecture with a web-based interface 
• Server: Performs Attacks 
• Client: Front-end 
• Both can be located at different machines 
• Security Tests are, as external Plugins, easy to add / modify / test without reading 
source code of Nessus

http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
Features 
• Audits anti-virus configurations 
• Performs sensitive data searches to look for credit card, social security number and 
many other types of corporate data 
• Nessus can call Hydra (an external tool) to launch a dictionary attack 
• Tenable Network Security produces several dozen new vulnerability checks (called 
plugins) each week, usually on a daily basis 
• These checks are available for free to the general public 
• Commercial customers are not allowed to use this home feed any more 
Nessus- Network Vulnerablity Scanner 11 
http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
Features 
• The Professional feed (which is not free) also gives access to support and add additional 
scripts (audit and compliance tests) 
• Can Test unlimited amount of hosts in each scan 
• Depending on the power of Server, scan can be performed on any range of hosts 
• Smart Service Recognition 
• Doesn't believe on fixed port for a particular service 
• Checks all ports for specific vulnerability

http://www.ifour-consultancy.com Offshore software development company India
Nessus UI 
• The Nessus User Interface (UI) is a web-based 
interface to the Nessus scanner 
• Nessus Scanner is comprised of a simple 
HTTP server and web client, and requires 
no software installation apart from the 
Nessus server 
• The UI displays scan results in real-time 
• User does not have to wait for a scan to 
complete to view results
