It all depends on how many targets your hitting per scan, and how those individual scan sessions are configured. If the sessions are set to a low number of simultaneous hosts and checks, you can easily have 6 scans running at once. But of course they will take longer to complete.
You didn't indicate what level Pentium processor you have, but it doesn't sound like this is the workhorse you want for multiple silmultaneous scans. A multi-processor system with a lot of RAM and multiple NICs would be better. -------- Jeff Mercer - CISO - Security Vulnerability Assessments >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kareem Beasley >Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 9:26 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: One Scanner Multiple Clients > >All, > >I am looking at having three nessus clients connected to one scanner >running simultaneously (credentialed scan).
