Résumé

The ONLY Book to Read if You Run Nessus Across the Enterprise

Ever since its beginnings in early 1998, the Nessus Project has attracted security researchers from all walks of life. It continues this growth today. It has been adopted as a de facto standard by the security industry, vendor, and practitioner alike, many of whom rely on Nessus as the foundation to their security practices. Now, Nessus project founder Renaud Deraison and a team of leading developers have created the definitive book for the Nessus community.
