Tenable Network Security has made available a BETA version of the new NessusClient 3.0. This Nessus client can be used to connect to any Nessus scanner and perform scans, manage scan policies and analyze results. It has a consistent user interface across Mac OS X, Windows and Linux operating systems. The BETA currently includes support for:
- instant availability of results during active scans
- managing connections and credentials for multiple Nessus scanners
- managing multiple vulnerability scan policies
- saving the Nessus scanner information, scan polices and results as a unique document-based "session"
- dynamically offering plugin preferences management for scan settings
- new report results format which combines scan policy with results
I recently installed Nessus 3.1.4 beta on a CentOS 5 image, so I figure why not give NessusClient 3.0.0 beta a spin.
Here are some quick screenshots.

Reports can be exported in HTML, NBE or NSR.
The layout is much easier to understand than the old NessusClient 1.0. The dropdown boxes help to keep all the options out of your way, but easy to find for modification. The ability to view the results in real-time (scan in progress) is very cool and a great time saver. Findings can be manually verified as soon as they are found...no more waiting.
