Hello everyone, Tenable's research group has added a new plugin preference which can control many of the plugins which try simple user/password combinations.
With this new setting, you can disable these checks which attempt to log in via SSH or SMB. Of course if you turn these checks off, you will miss basic user/pass issues, but you won't have login failures occurring which may cause a 'lock out'.
