A tech ran a Nessus scan against my Linux machine protected that is by iptables. His scan reported all the ports that should have been filtered as open. Nessus was not able to connect to any of these ports and reported the following for all of services it tried to connect to.
<begin> This port was detected as being open by a port scanner but is now closed. This service might have been crashed by a port scanner or by some information gathering plugin <end> Two questions. 1. My Nessus reports does not show any of these ports as open. I just install 2.0.7 and all the new plug-ins. Any suggestion I can try to get past iptables? 2. How does Nessus get past iptables?
