Hello, I'm asking this question for someone else....please don't flame me for it...
Is there a single documentation resource that clearly defines and explains all the customizable parameters for all of the attacks used within nessus? For example, the "BlackICE DoS (ping flood)" attack lists parameters of "Flood length", "Data length", and "MTU" with default values of 600, 10000, and 576. This person would like to know what the attack does, what each of these fields means, why the default values were chosen, and what the available ranges/values are for these fields. Apply this rule of documentation to all attacks and configuration options. As a disclaimer: I think this is silly, if a person wants to know about the attack, then find it on the 'net, learn what it does and how it does it, and then you'll understand the above questioned information. However, the individual prompting my question would like it all in a nice, neat, single document.
