Uncheck "Optimize the test" and Nessus will disregard any required ports, required keys and excluded keys specified by plugins. (Of course, some plugins might malfunction when they fail to find required data in the kb.) Nevertheless, I think generic attacks should not depend on advertised version numbers. What plugins do that? --Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak [ Boycott Microsoft--http://www.vcnet.com/bms ] "Resistance is futile. Open your source code and prepare for assimilation."
