I ran nessus against my IIS 5.0 server and determined I was using weak ciphers in SSL. I followed Microsoft's recommended practices for disabling through the registry. I ran nessus again and it still came back with the same results. I double checked that I had disabled the weak ciphers in the registry.

My question will nessus still show that I have the weak ciphers enabled even if I have them disabled? Or is there a possibility that I haven't disabled them properly? I think the question to find out is if disabling the cipher's in the registry prevents them from being "grabbed" during a vulnerability scan.oes the prevention of the ciphers happen at the OS level or at some other level?
