Introduction
NessusWC development goals were pure simplicity. No Java, PHP, databases or other enabling technology must be maintained. No cookies either. Just plain CGI technology written in 'C'.
The benefit is a centrally located scan client that keeps all results in one place. The design is kept so simple, even a non-IT person could start a scan. The ultimate goal is the design of a ["Scan-Me"] button that takes the users IP and gives it a pre-defined scan as a self-service app.

NessusWC has been developed for use with a Apache webserver under Linux, connecting to a Nessus v2.x/v3.x server and is using libraries such as:
- GNU libc

- CGIC
To my best knowledge, I need to mention copyrights of the GPL, the OpenSSL team (Mark J. Cox, Ralf S. Engelschall, Ben Laurie, Dr. Stephen Henson), Thomas Boutell for the cgic library, and Renaud Deraison with the Tenable Network Security team for the Nessus server software and protocol information.
