Nessus 4.4.1 released Mar 1, 2011 (New Release)

Tenable is pleased to announce the release of Nessus 4.4.1.
This new release contains the following improvements and fixes:
- It is now possible to define a global maximum number of packets per second sent by the SYN scanner, no matter how many scans are running, by setting the option nessus_syn_scanner.global_throughput.max in nessusd.conf (for instance, setting nessus_syn_scanner.global_throughput.max = 10000 guarantees that nessusd will not send more than 10,000 packets per second during the port scan phase). Use this feature if you're scanning through fragile firewalls or if you want to reduce the impact of the port scan on the network ;
- We've modified the backend database to automatically switch from the "high" memory usage (which uses more memory but is faster during the scan) to "low" (which uses less memory but slows scans down a little) when nessusd can't allocate enough memory. In 4.4.0, Nessus would abort if it could not load the database in memory ;

Nessus 4.4.0 released Nov 10, 2010 (New Release)

- Improved reporting via a new built-in reporting engine
- Reduced memory usage
