Hello everyone,
Can someone provide a description of the different plugin
families that are currently being used in 1.2.7
If this information is already available, a simple link will do.
Sorry if I missed it.
The reason I'm asking for these descriptions is that I need to
understand why some plugins that belong to non 'denial of
service' families appear to crash remote servers/services.
An example of this type of behavior would be the Weblogic DoS
plugin which belongs to the "Remote File Access" family. This
plugin remains enabled when "Enable all but dangerous plugins"
is clicked even though it crashes the remote service.
I realize that I'm asking a strange question since the whole
point of a tool like Nessus is to show us what vulnerabilities
exist on a remote host. However, I'm being stoned by my
management for killing these remote services when I swear to him
that I'm not doing "intrusive" scans. Therefore, I think that a
description of the plugin families might help shed some light on
my confusion.
Thanks for reading,
Adam
