a coupla questions regarding the attack...

1) i was going thru the cve list (cve.mitre.org) and
it contains close to 6,500 vuls. why is it then that
nessus only has about 2,000... have the remaining vuls
have been left out intentionally for not being useful
enough or is it just the sheer number vuls that makes
it hard to catch up with and write an exploit/check
for?

2) one of the postings on the forums mentioned that
knowing the application version number was *NOT*
important in launching the attack. does this mean that
if an ftp service is detected, ALL ftp attacks are
launched, regardless of the ftp application version?

thanks in advance.
