This question is a slight deviation from nessus so please bear with me:-)!!
I found that port scanning made nessus very slow so I did port scanning with nmap and fed the result to nessus. Now everything seems to be working fine... But I had a doubt about the way nmap works...
I had specified the minimum parallelism (ie minimum number of ports to be scanned) for nmap as 100. There is no option in nmap to set the number of hosts to be tested in parallel. So how does nmap work... for example in case of a /19 network with lets say 2000 live hosts will it test atleast 100 ports of all the 2000 hosts leading to atleast 200000 tests in parallel?
This is purely a question about nmap... sorry about that... can somebody help?
Thanks
