Hello everybody,

So I do have the latest and greatest nessus scanner for Windows (3.0.5) and I am using it with nessj front end.

However, I have noticed that when I apply a "reject xx.xx.xx.xx" rule, the xx.xx.xx.xx host still gets scanned. In other words- the scanner ignores the rules.

You're correct -- Nessus on Windows does not implement the IP restrictions. We expect version 3.2 to do it, though.


Thanks,
