I'm looking at using Nessus for some general port scanning, so that i can have all results consolidated in Security Center. I really want to limit scanning to a port or 2, and limit the hosts to just a handful at a time, to limit network traffic during the scan.
My initial testing seemed to indicate that it was taking about a minute and a half per IP. That was much longer than I expected. I was checking for 2 open ports, 2 IPs at a time, no plugins running, all on a LAN, SYN scan. Wondering if it's a case of using the wrong tool, or if there are additional settings/tweaks I should consider. Any input appreciated. Thanks, Mike
