I just want to get everyone's feedback:
Nessus is currently up to 9333+ plugins
Even with all the irrelevant plugins unchecked...like slackware,
freebsd, solaris checks etc.
You don't need to do that. If the remote host is not solaris and/or
ssh is not running and/or you did not give ssh key/password, Nessus
will not launched those plugins (same for other local chekcs).
Network only has windows 2003
total of 60 hosts
It's taking me 5-7 hours.
I'm using three laptops
one C800 Dell
one D600 Dell
one Compaq Presario R3000.
Is this typical for you all?
No.
Is there a firewall between your Nessus scanner and your hosts ?
What portscanners did you select in the Nessus configuration ? and
what ports do you scan ?
Is safe checks option enabled ? (unsafe plugin are slow)
