Anyone know why when I conduct a scan that it executes the same plugin twice for the same IP being scanned?
find_service forks. You can configure how many children process you want.
This happens for numerous plugins.
get_kb_item("gizmo") will fork if "gizmo" is a list instead of a
single item.
Just wonder if that's why the state tables on our routers are filling up.
Maybe find_service, not the other ones. The port scanners are more dangerous because they are quicker and tests more ports. Try to use netstat or snmpwalk, or nmap with "polite" timing (if will be slooooooooow). Also try to reduce the number of simultaneous tests. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
