Those who are running the CVS version of Nessus should be able to test
netstat_portscan.nasl
This plugin uses netstat to get the list of open ports. Either by
connecting on the netstat port (15) or by using SSH.
- this is quicker than anything else, even snmpwalk
- this is the lest dangerous scanner:
- TCP scanners (e.g. nmap -sT) may crash broken services,
- nmap -sN or -sX may crash broken IP stacks,
- SYN scanners (nmap -sS) may overload the machine? and may crash
broken IP stacks?
- snmpwalk crashes buggy versions of IBM HACMP cluster.
- but just like snmpwalk, it may report open ports that are protected
by an IP filter.
