[Loren Bandiera <lorenb starchamber ca>]

Application
===========

sussen 0.6

Description
===========

Sussen is a security scanner which remotely tests computers or other
devices and provides a report on their vulnerabilities.

Enhancements
============

This release of Sussen marks some big changes to our plans going forward.
With this release we are dropping support for Nessus and moving ahead
with our own server, which is called sussen-sensor.

Sussen is now a client/server based security scanner.  The client is a
GNOME 2 based application, sussen,  which we've been working on for a
few months now.

The server, sussen-sensor is based on GLib, GNet, and libxml.  It's
features 
include:

* Python based plugins for security tests
* Nmap port scanning
* PAM support
* XML based configuration
* Support for internationalization and localization

Currently we only have stubs in place for our plugins.  Our plans our to
port
the 1,700+ Nessus plugins to Sussen.  That work will begin shortly.

We are releasing sussen-sensor and sussen-plugins 0.1 along with sussen
0.6.
Since the sensor/plugins are in an early state this release is mainly for
developers and not suited for production use.
