Hi Guys
Im having trouble verifying my port scans, I am getting very different
results...
Running a nessus scan on a machine, I get 4 open ports, 445, 139, 427, 135
Running LANguard I get 7 TCP (21, 25, 110,135, 427, 445) and 3 UDP (137,
138, 445)
I have used all scanners, with the same results. Then I tried using each
scanner individually to verify these results. I am using the correct SMB
credentials, UDP and TCP scanning enabled, nessus scan results below. I have
also copied the console output from a nmap scan at the bottom of the mail.
I can confirm that ports 110 and 21, 25 are open as I can telnet/FTP them.
Cant see why these open ports are not being picked up.
Results on using the nessus TCP scanner
