No, there are two plugins. One is called "nmap", and it is a wrapper that calls the nmap command (or read a file). That's the one you want to use. It has many "Prefs": TCP connect, SYN scan, UDP scan, etc. The other one is called "nmap TCP connect" and it is a C plugin made from parts of nmap source code. This one has no "Prefs" at all. I understood that it is slowing down your scan. You may disable it. But I do not know exactly how they look under NessusWX. > And BTW, since someone mentioned that Nmap 3.00 is out, if > I install that on my server will Nessus use it?
