Hi, Where can I edit this functionality? I'm using it on FreeBSD with gui NessuxWX on win2k machine. Also, can anyone tell me more about the port scanners properties? I noticed that they are disabled by default. Also, when I run a scan via the command line, it tells me something about the scan may not be complete unless I enable the plugins that may crash a system? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks. --- Carl Houseman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nessus exists to figure out what is running on any > given IP address and then test the discovered > functions for a vulnerability.
