Can someone explain to me why some hosts get resolved to 255.255.255.255 by nessus? Ie:
[Tue Feb 18 12:53:17 2003][27353] Client requested protocol version 12. [Tue Feb 18 12:53:18 2003][27353] successful login of na from 127.0.0.1 [Tue Feb 18 12:53:29 2003][27353] Redirecting debugging output to /usr/local/var /nessus/logs/nessusd.dump [Tue Feb 18 12:53:31 2003][27353] user na : session will be saved as /usr/local/ var/nessus/users/na/sessions/20030218-125331-index [Tue Feb 18 12:53:31 2003][27353] user na starts a new attack.

I'm confused. John -- John Baker, BSc CS. Java Developer, TEAM EAA.. http://www.teamenergy.com Views expressed in this mail are my own.
