# Vulnerability Assessment

* [Nessus](https://docs.tenable.com/Nessus.htm)
* [OpenVAS](https://openvas.org/)

Remember to alert before a vulnerability scan

Always run safe scans

Avoid:

* Printer scanning
* DoS scanning
* Limit bandwidth on delicate networks

Monitor network usage with vnstat:

```bash
sudo vnstat -l -i eth0
```
