I just found some of the information I was looking for that I didn't see in the demo, context help, or man page:
http://cgi.nessus.org/plugins/dump.php3?family=Port%20scanners I'm wondering after reading these descriptions though, will LaBrea also populate the Knowledge Base with dead or alive information? Is there value to running this in addition to tcp connect() scan and ping remote host, or is it somehow redundant? What I'm getting at is trying to comprehensively determine if hosts are alive in my initial scan. Thanks, Mark
