Using NessusWX 1.4.4 and a debian linux based nessusd 2.0.9. I ran a scan against a class C network which took about two days to finish.
"Viewing" the results causes the CPU usage to jump to 100% and the memory usage to increase by about 100 MB. This lasts for about 15 minutes at which point it finally displays and both the CPU and memory drop back to normal. Generating reports takes much longer but has the same symptoms. Generating a report of just the high vulnerabilities sorted by vulnerability took approximately 1 1/2 hours. The CPU staid at 100% and the memory usage about 100 MB above normal the entire time. Generating a report of open ports, low, medium, and high sorted by host is still running after 3 hours. Of course, the CPU is at 100% and the memory usage is about 100 MB above normal and slowly rising. The associated PDF it is trying to create is also up to 2.02 GB in size. That can't be right. Thank you! -Jason _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
