From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: Question on how Nessus dealing with vul~Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 17:47:38 -1000 So do you have any suggestion on what I should scan first right after the OS is identified? Or just randomly pick the plugin for a particular OS into plugin list and run the scan? Thanks a lot~ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: Question on how Nessus dealing with vul~Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 18:51:15 -0500 No priority on OS. Nessus scans by plugins' list. You need to pick up them manually, or somehow automate and create a list. No priotity for vulnerabilities as well. Scanning is organized by a host list (next is the plugin list). Nessus does not find a match between remote OS and its vulnerabilities. It would be too much of automation, which could affect results. You can run plugins to identify OS though. You can maybe scan/fingerprint for OS first Basically, you should not worry too much concerning the relationship OS-vulnerabilities. Just create a list for a particular OS and run it. Hosts having "unfriendly" OS basically will not appear in the final report. If they do, then possibly a host reacts to "fuzzy" scanning, and you need to take care of.

Could you tell me some information about how Nessus prioritize the vul?So, afther Nessus determines the OS on a remote host, what kind/category of OS vul (e.g. port #, patch version, etc.) would it scan first? What kind of OS vul would have a top priority in Nessus' view? What would have a low priority?
