    Nessus/SATAN scanners

    Anybody use these critters? I just set up my web server to run them and I have done several well paying scans already. Before I just used a dedicated server and had the old version - the new release of Nessus is sweet!
    Maybe I found a use for my Beowulf cluster.. if I can get it to parallel task the scans. (looks around for software geeks).

    I'm all exited cuz this little experiment of mine got me an incredible job offer today - not to mention what the scans themselves are generating.
    All in all.. a good day today ;D

    its for scanning networks for configuration problems, open ports, bad software, old patches etc.
    It checks to see if a hacker could use it (the vulnerability) to break in..
