See the description for ports/security/nessus.
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.
Firewall Builder consists of object-oriented GUI and set of policy compilers
for various firewall platforms. In Firewall Builder, firewall policy is a set
of rules, each rule consists of abstract objects which represent real network
objects and services (hosts, routers, firewalls, networks, protocols).
Firewall Builder helps user maintain database of objects and allows policy
editing using simple drag-and-drop operations.
Preferences and objects databases are stored in XML format.
GUI and policy compilers are completely independent. Support for a new firewall
platform can be added to GUI without any changes done to the program, although
new policy compiler must be written. This provides for consistent abstract
model and the same GUI for different firewall platforms. Currently three most
popular free firewalls are supported: ipchains, iptables and ipfilter.
Because of this, Firewall Builder can be used to manage firewalls built on
variety of platforms including, but not limited to, Linux running ipchains or
iptables and FreeBSD or Solaris running ipfilter.
Oinkmaster is simple Perl script released under the BSD license to help you
update your Snort 1.9+ rules and comment out the unwanted ones after each
update. It will tell you exactly what had changed since the last update,
hence giving you good control of your rules.
OpenCDK - Open Crypto Development Kit
This library provides basic parts of the OpenPGP message format.
The aim of the library is *not* to replace any available OpenPGP version.
There will be no real support for key management (sign, revoke,
alter preferences, ...) and some other parts are only rudimentary
available. The main purpose is to handle and understand OpenPGP
packets and to use basic operations. For example to encrypt/decrypt
or to sign/verify and packet routines.
Hint: Because of the fact that sentensive data is used, the library
doesn't contain any real cryptographic code. For all crypto
routines we referring to the Libgcrypt library!
The Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) is a framework of several
services and tools offering a comprehensive and powerful vulnerability
scanning and vulnerability management solution.
This package contains a command-line tool to control the OpenVAS Manager and
a Nagios plugin.
Secure data deletion toolkit! If you overwrite a file for 10+ times,
it can still be recovered. These tools can wipe files, free disk space,
swap and memory!
The Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) is a framework of several

scanning and vulnerability management solution.
This package contains the OpenVAS Manager which provides services on top of
the OpenVAS Scanner to manage scan results, configurations and user access
control.
The Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) is a framework of several

This package contains the OpenVAS Scanner which executes Network Vulnerability
Tests (NVTs) provided by the OpenVAS NVT Feed or a commercial feed service.
Shibboleth is standards-based, open source middleware software which
provides Web Single SignOn (SSO) across or within organizational
boundaries. It allows sites to make informed authorization decisions
for individual access of protected online resources in a
privacy-preserving manner.
This software is a C++ implementation of the Service Provider version 2
component of the Shibboleth can be used in Apache Web servers. The
service provider manages secured resources. User access to resources
is based on assertions received by the service provider (SP) from
an identity provider.
