Because you don't "optimize" or "consider unscanned ports as closed". Anyway the results might be different.
so .... do all/most/some NASLs ignore the port scanner output ... and just run anyway? or do they run against default ports only, if port scanner output is unavailable?
They run on default port if there is one optimization options are not set.
[and if port scanner output is available ... then do NASLs run against *all* open ports
No. They run on relevant ports.
at the price of running against things like sendmail listening on port 25 ...
No. Only find_service and similar plugins run against every open port.
what does port scanning buy me, in terms of which NASLs get launched?
More results. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
