Apologies if I've overlooked the obvious. I am using Nessus 3.2.0 with Client 3.0.0 under XP. I have created a policy and have not enabled the 'Scan Network Printers' however on my test network the printer is scanned and it shoots out 2 sheets during the scan.
I am leading up to scanning an estate of a few thousand devices, but would like to guarantee excluding printer scanning as much as practically possible - is there anyway I can investigate further why my printer was scanned? I may be able to exclude the printer IP addresses but they are not neatly presented within the IP scope, however I could use nmap -O and parse the results to get the majority of printer IPs. If I wish to exclude these IPs do I append them to the Tenable\Nessus\config\nessusd.rules , Tenable\Nessus\users\localuser\auth\rules or both? Any alternative methods please? Many thanks _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
