Re: Nessus = unreliable

Before slamming Nessus as unreliable, why don't you be a little more clear about the scanning procedure?  If the good people in this community understood your problem, you could get the appropriate help.  So, when you scan the range is the result accurate for all ip addresses bar this ONE ip address?  The last sentence in the first paragraph is confusing.  If you remove the range and target just that one IP you say you get accurate results.  So, is that the only live host in your range by any chance?  Try to use nmap before using nessus to determine the live ip addresses.      Sanjeev   All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy --- Jack Torrance, The Shining ----- Original Message ----- From: andrewwhite To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 6:29 PM Subject: Nessus = unreliable Hi, I don’t understand Nessus sometimes.  I am using the latest version on my Linux server and use NessusWX client on my PC.  I normally scan a range of IP addresses, but there is one IP in that range it never picks up on.  If I remove the range and just scan this one IP on its own, it shows up with the correct results.    Why does it not find this IP address when I scan the range of IP’s?   Thanks in advance   Andy _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
