I don't disagree on the nmap wrapper issue, if a user, unfamiliar with nessus uses it on a scan they can easily rob the resources form the nessus scanner. As for netstat, snmp, these (hopefully) won't work in most cases (without really crappy security on the host) Point is, tcp_wrapper and syn_scan won't give you al list of udp ports. If someone familiar with nmap scans needs a udp port scan, they will need to be aware of how to identify all the false positives associated with many udp scans. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
