I have had similar issues with nessus’s port scanner and nmap.  Nmap will find ports open on our vpn device – nessus won’t, never didmanage to get it to see these ports open in the end.

Subject: Nessus misses open ports that nmap finds

 

Hello,

 

I am running nessus 3.0.2 and nmap 4.03.

 

I scanned 10 hosts with both nessus and nmap.

 

Nmap identified 2 holes (HTTP and HTTPS) that Nessus "missed" on 1 of the hosts. Several of the other 9 hosts were running these same services and the holes WERE identified by both Nessus and Nmap.

 

Is there some "throttling" or "timing" issue occuring here?

 

Your help is appreciated.

 

Thanks
