Hi;

We are getting some strange emails, from what appears to be out of Nessus.

hostname #su - root
# mail
Mail [5.2 UCB] [AIX 4.1]  Type ? for help.
"/var/spool/mail/root": 5 messages 5 new
>N  1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thu Feb  5 15:34  27/829  "Nessus antivirus test 1:
bas"
 N  2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thu Feb  5 15:34  20/666  "Nessus antivirus test 2:
uue"
 N  3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thu Feb  5 15:34  27/860  "Nessus antivirus test 3:
alt"
 N  4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thu Feb  5 15:34  27/903  "Nessus antivirus test 4:
bro"
 N  5 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thu Feb  5 15:35  26/758  "Nessus antivirus test 5:
'mi"
?

However, we just ran a default scan of about 30 hosts (this was one of
them), but checked the reports and could not find
anything about a AntiVirus Scan.

------------
The contents of the message:
from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Organization: Nessus Kabable
Subject: Nessus antivirus test 1-5
If you can read or execute the attachment, you need to install an antivirus
or fix for your current one.
------------

These emails were sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED], from what looks like our
nessus server, but again could not find anywhere
where we asked it to perform a scan such as this. These were AIX and HPUX
based systems.

Has anyone seen somethins as such as this...
