| Code: | | emerge --pretend --verbose nessus |
It's a scan server, so you can use it from the command line, or you can even use a Windows front-end for it if that's your thing (there's a link for one in the download section on http://www.nessus.org if I remember correctly).

Nessus has a fantastic GTK frontend. I use Nessus to scan our machines around here and it's wonderful. It'll dig up obscure vulnerabilities and everything. And BTW, the Windows version requires the use of a MySQL database or something...I don't remember what it was but it sounded like a daunting overtake even for a Gentooer. Just emerge nessus like the man said, rc-update add nessusd default, /etc/init.d/nessusd start, then type nessus after you've gone through the initial configuration at the command prompt. Enjoy!
