The Nessus web site states "Smart service recognition. Nessus does not believe that the target hosts will respect the IANA assigned port numbers. This means that it will recognize a FTP server running on a non-standard port (31337 say), or a web server running on port 8080"
I'm having some difficulty figuring out when this is in effect or what configuration has to be set up for this to happen. For instance, I set up an ftp server on port 21 and a telnet server on port 23 and do a Nessus scan, Nessus figures out what they are. However, if I change the ports that the servers are on, Nessus only states that those ports are open and does not seem to know what the services running on it are. Can anyone offer some suggestions? Thanks. --------------------------------------- Kevin� Davis What could possibly go wrong?
