I did some test again today, maybe this can help you: Information about this scan : Nessus version : 3.2.1.1 Plugin feed version : 200901050134 Type of plugin feed : HomeFeed (Non-commercial use only) Scanner IP : ***.***.***.*** WARNING : no port scanner was enabled during the scan. This may lead to incomplete results But, I enabled in the option tab of the scan policy: Safe Check, Nessus TCP Scanner, Ping the remote host Port scanner range: default Port range : default Thorough tests : no Experimental tests : no Paranoia level : 1 Report Verbosity : 1 Safe checks : yes Optimize the test : yes Max hosts : 10 Max checks : 5 Recv timeout : 5 Backports : None Scan Start Date : 2009/1/5 10:40 Scan duration : 104 sec Nessus ID : 19506 Here is a copy of what a sent on this list a few weeks ago on my port scan issues: ============ I only activated the plugin (21643) Port scanner range : 443 Consider unscanned ports as closed : unchecked Nessus TCP scanner : Checked Ping the remote host : Checked This didn't work, in fact, port scanner range was not taken into account. The only way I got the scanner to detect port 443 was to check Syn Scan box. Then, once again, the port scanner range is not taken into account, but a huge number of ports are scanned (including 443!). The plugin worked then. ========== Any help is welcome David _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
