		<description><![CDATA[I was recently hired to do a PCI compliance scan and complete the remedial work to bring it up to standard. This was on a CentOS5 box. The tool I was using to do the scanning was pretty good, but like all scanning tools plays &#8220;the numbers game.&#8221; This means it simply looks at the [...]]]></description>
