Hi George,
My nessusd is v3.0.2 for linux. I've tried copying the missing *.nes files
to the plugin folder and it seemed to work fine. THANKS!!!!
I'm curious, previously when these 2 port scanners were not inlcuded in the
port scanner family, I still managed to scan and the results showed ports
that were opened. But the report did not specified that port scanners were
used (until i included these 2 missing scanner, it stated only these 2 as
the port scanners being used though I've enabled all port scanners).
Just puzzled :-
- Aren't the rest of the port scanner plugins in the port scanner family
considered as Port Scanner as well?
- I did 2 tests by disabling the port scanner plugin family( the 2 plugin
were missing then) and later enabling the family. there is no difference in
the results were identical. I'm not sure why this is so.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks for your advice.

Which platform and version of the Nessus server are you using? How did you
install it?
These are the port scanner plugins available in the list:
Nessus SNMP scanner
Ping the remote host
scan for Labrea
exclude top level domain wildcard host
These are all plugins written in NASL; the two you're missing are in C.
there is no *nes file in the plugin directory in the nessusd host. what er
these *nes files? Can I add them in manually?
*.nes are compiled versions of C plugins. You're best bet for recovering
them is to re-install / >upgrade Nessus and then update your plugins.

Were these scanners available before you updated your plugins?
In NessusWX, when you group plugins by Family in the plugin list (F8), what
plugins if any are listed in "Port scanners"?
Do you have any files matching "*.nes" on the nessusd host in the plugins
directory? If not, you probably need to re-install Nessus on the server.

Hi
I've read about Nessus built-in port scanner tcp connect() scan (plugin
10335) but after downloading the latest plugin from Nessus onto my Nessusd
server (restarted daemon service) and reconnecting with NessusWX, I'm
unable to locate this plugin in NessusWX.
SYN Scan (plugin 11219) is also not found.
Can anyone advise?
thanks,
Tony
