Hello, I am trying to scan a web site with Nessus. Nessus server and client are both installed on my computer. The web server is on the local network.
I am using Nessus 3.0.4 on Win XP. I can configure it scan the server, but I don't think that it does what is expected. The web site has a few thousand pages, but scan takes only 20-30 minutes (I disable port scans, except port 80). I select all plugins, except the DoS group. The webmiror plugin is selected too, but I don't think that it does anything. I see this in scan information: Nessus version : 3.0.4 Plugin feed version : 200701161815 Type of plugin feed : Registered (7 days delay) Scanner IP : <removed> Port scanner(s) : synscan Port range : 80 Thorough tests : no Experimental tests : no Paranoia level : 1 Report Verbosity : 1 Safe checks : yes Max hosts : 20 Max checks : 4 Scan Start Date : 2007/1/18 12:20 Scan duration : 1676 sec The question is, how do I enable thorough tests? I want as tough scan as possible, even if it takes a couple days to do. The other question is, how to get the webmirror plugin working? I do increase the number of cached pages to the max (99999). I found a couple of books describing Nessus, but they talk about Nessus 2. The new Nessus 3 interface is intuitive, but not well documented. Thanks, Arkadi _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
