RE: Port scan results

Thanks, I'm getting somewhere now. There is no SCANNER_SET section in the
nessus configuration file for these scans. Checking in the ~/.nessusrc there
is a SCANNER_SET section and I've used that to replace the missing section
in the configuration file I use. Not sure how *that* happened, but I'm sure
it explains it :\

Reviewing the plugins identified there I find that most of them don't appear
to be on my system (as determined by the SQL output nessus returns when
queried about plugins it has). There are 11219 (TCP SYN scan), 10180 (TCP
scan), 10796 (labrea tarpit), 14272 (netstat 'scanner'), 14274 (nessus snmp
scanner) and 11840 (exclude some IPs from scan).

No. The is an option (a "Pref") for the ping_host plugin.
There is a list of port scanners somewhere.
if you are using the command line client, look at the SCANNER_SET in the
nessusrc file.
