Are you using NessusWX? If so just disable the "Safe" scans, as I believe
this is essentially setting it to thorough.
Then again, it's late and sleep hasn't arrived at my door for days!

Hello,
I am trying to scan a web site with Nessus. Nessus server and client are
both installed on my computer. The web server is on the local network.
I am using Nessus 3.0.4 on Win XP. I can configure it scan the server,
but I don't think that it does what is expected. The web site has a few
thousand pages, but scan takes only 20-30 minutes (I disable port scans,
except port 80). I select all plugins, except the DoS group. The
webmiror plugin is selected too, but I don't think that it does
anything.
I see this in scan information:
Nessus version : 3.0.4
Plugin feed version : 200701161815
Type of plugin feed : Registered (7 days delay)
Scanner IP : <removed>
Port scanner(s) : synscan
Port range : 80
Thorough tests : no
Experimental tests : no
Paranoia level : 1
Report Verbosity : 1
Safe checks : yes
Max hosts : 20
Max checks : 4
Scan Start Date : 2007/1/18 12:20
Scan duration : 1676 sec
The question is, how do I enable thorough tests? I want as tough scan as
possible, even if it takes a couple days to do.
The other question is, how to get the webmirror plugin working? I do
increase the number of cached pages to the max (99999).
I found a couple of books describing Nessus, but they talk about Nessus
2. The new Nessus 3 interface is intuitive, but not well documented.
Thanks,
Arkadi
