@Update the outdated pkg-descr as requested by the nessus developer.

PR:		ports/47708
Submitted by:	maintainer

@Nessus is a security scanner that crawls across a network, looking
for well-known vulnerabilities and common misconfiguration.

It has a unique set of features, including automatic SSL discovery,
services recognition (so it will catch, for instance, a FTP server
running on a port different than 21) and its own scripting language.

The Nessus Security Scanner is released under the GNU General Public
Licence and aims to be easy to use while extremely powerful.

PS: To install the lot in one operation, do nessus-plugins first.

The 'Nessus' Project was started in early 1998, and first released in
April 1998. At this time, the most complete free security scanner was
SATAN, which is clearly outdated, and you could see the emergence of
several commercial ones, that were clearly too expensive.

The Nessus Security Scanner is not only another security auditing tool. It
is a security auditing as I think it should be - never trust the version
number, never trust that a given service is listenning on the good port
(do all the web servers on earth listen on port 80 ?).

The Nessus Security Scanner is free, open-sourced and wants to be easy to
use.

Nessus is a security scanner. That is, it's a program which will scan a
given network and will seek for vulnerabilities which could be exploited
by some remote intruder.

The Nessus Project was originally started by Renaud Deraison 
(deraison@@worldnet.fr). Many people contributed in many ways to the 
project, and the Nessus core team is now made up of Alexis de Bernis
(alexisb@@mygale.org), who is the Java specialist, Noam Rathaus 
(dolittle@@isrealmail.com) who is in charge of the Nessus client for
Windows, and Renaud Deraison who is still here and who is the project 
leader.
