>From nessus-core/doc/WARNING.En : 3.3. Scripts selection With the GUI, one can - select everything in one click, - select "Everything but dangerous plugins". This choice eliminates the categories ACT_DENIAL or ACT_DESTRUCTIVE_ATTACK. This is redundant with the "safe checks" option and will probably disappear one day. [snip] 3.4.4. Safe checks This option disables the dangerous script that may kill the system or some service. Nessus then relies upon the version numbers in banners, for example. If no clue is available, the test is simply dropped.
