By default, nessusd will listen on all interfaces available to the machine so yes, there's a good chance someone else can try to connect to nessusd on your host. > 2) how can i secure the nessusd? o Have nessusd listen on specific interfaces using the '-a' commandline option when you start it. o Compile nessus-core with support for tcp_wrappers and use that to control access. o Compile nessus-core to support unix sockets rather than Internet sockets. This will mean only local clients can connect. o Adjust your firewall rules to limit access. > 3) what can i do so that port 1241 won't show up in > the > portscan result? If you're scanning the localhost, there's not much. But then, why would you worry about it? George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
