Hello All, I am new to Nessus. My requirement is to run TCP , UDP, ICMP related attacks from WAN to the the gateway. This is for validating the Firewall capabilities of my gateway. Regards, Girish
Hi Girish, If you scan your gateway with Nessus, then you are testing the open ports and services of your gateway/firewall/IPS, not how well it is blocking attacks and probes. You should target a system behind your firewall or gateway and compare this to results of an internal scan of the same system. Please see this blog entry which also covers NAT issues for more information: http://blog.tenablesecurity.com/2006/08/using_nessus_to.html Ron Gula, CTO Tenable Network Security _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
