There appears to be a bug handling some hostnames that contain a hyphen. Attempting to scan www.test-hyphen.westpoint.ltd.uk ends up scanning 255.255.255.255 Looks like a bug in nessusd as this happens both with NessusWX and the command-line nessus. However, this does not happen with free-jtapi.westhawk.co.uk - so the position of the hyphen matters some.
Can anyone else confirm this?
