Nessus detects and identifies services that are running on non-standard ports even if the non-standard port is a reserved port. Once a service has been recognised, Nessus does not perform a "best guess" but considers that the probability of a given service running on a given port is equal for all ports. It uses the info in the KB, that is filled by nmap to run the tests. Regards Ashutosh ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
