This question was raised several times in this mailing list. Should it be included in the Nessus FAQ?
As I know there is no command line parameter to be passed to Nessus to enable "...plugins that have the ability to crash remote services or hosts". Please correct me if I'm wrong. If you want to enable them you should enable plugins which belong to the denial and destructive_attack categories in the nessusrc file. You can simplify the process of updating nessusrc file by using the update-nessusrc utility.
