Nessus 2.2.3 - A free, open-sourced and easy-to-use security auditing tool

about:
Nessus is a remote security scanner for Linux, BSD, Solaris, and other
Unices. It is plug-in-based, has a GTK interface, and performs over 5,000
remote security checks. It allows for reports to be generated in HTML,
XML, LaTeX, and ASCII text, and suggests solutions for security problems.

Changes:
This version contains a slightly simplified GUI as well as a new option
(silent dependencies) to reduce the amount of information reported by a
scan.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements
