hello, i got freebsd on my machine with ipfw. there is no lan on it and i only use dial-up to ISP.
i'd like to test my sys with nessus and started doing so until i read in the FAQ that if you have firewall between nessusd and the system you want to scan, the results may be inacurate. in my case the nessusd + client run on the same system. also, the test is done on the same system... the way it is configured now is: nessus client connects to nessusd via loopback 127.0.0.1 ipfw allows all outgoing tcp + udp but doent allow incoming on anywhere... do you think this may lead to inacurate results? if so, is there any other way to do it with a single machine?
