Dear list,
The other day I ran Nessus against an original Windows95 distribution (without
any patches, updates or service packs installed) running on VMWare.
Surprisingly enough, it didn't find any weakness, just 1 open port (139) and 6
notes. Also, it recognized the operating system wrongly as a Windows NT4.
Could it be Nessus does not (or has stopped) scanning for weaknesses in Windows
95, or am I doing something wrong? If the first, then starting what Windows
version, Nessus can be used?
Thanks,
