Pocket Nessus

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a particular set of tools that I've found work well for my applications. I, too, recommend Nessus along with another useful tool - the White Glove CD - which contains many other applications that can be used to secure your network. In the end, you will find that you have an extremely portable toolbox that fits in your pocket and runs an open source vulnerability scanner recommended by networking organizations, SANS instructors, and used by many commercial companies. This paper will provide a brief introduction to Nessus and the White Glove CD. I will then explain how I use the White Glove CD to run Nessus.
