I just tried running some scans using the "unscanned ports as closed" option. Hopefully someone can explain to me what I'm screwing up...
Here's what I did: Port scanned a few Windows hosts using NMAP. Imported the results of this scan into Nessus and ran with all but dangerous plugins enabled. The NMAP scan had found NetBios ports to be open. When Nessus ran with the "unscanned" option checked, it had zero info about the NetBios ports. When the option was unchecked, it found the expected info: user list, shares, etc. It also seemed to take significantly longer to run with the option checked. Anyone know why I'm not getting the NetBios info when this option is enabled? Scanning host: Nessus 1.2.6(cvs - 10/29), RedHat 7.3, 2.4.19...
