Hello all.
First I would like to say I appsoluly love this project. Nessus is
a wonderful tool.
I'm trying to be creative and deny close to 60 host from being
scanned during our audits. I want to utilize the nessusd.rules file
keep track rather then having to brake apart my subnets when
inputting them for the audit.
I'm trying to figure out why my scan is hanging with error "E2002 -
These hosts could not be tested because you are not allowed to do
so." after adding deny addresses to the nessusd.rules file. I want
to scan the subnet and have purposely denied IP address. Should I
be using reject instead of deny? Is their an error log I should be
looking at.
My scan works flawlessly until it hits a deny host and then just
stops.
The scan does not stop when an attempt to scan a "forbidden" IP is
made. In other words, the error message you're seeing is displayed
only at the end of the scan, but every other IP in your network
should have been scanned (check nessusd.messages to have more details
about what is going on).
