Hi George,
No they were not available previously.

These are the port scanner plugins available in the list:
Nessus SNMP scanner
Ping the remote host
scan for Labrea
exclude top level domain wildcard host

there is no *nes file in the plugin directory in the nessusd host. what er these *nes files?
Can I add them in manually?

Thanks for your advice

Were these scanners available before you updated your plugins?

In NessusWX, when you group plugins by Family in the plugin list (F8), what plugins if any are listed in "Port scanners"?


Do you have any files matching "*.nes" on the nessusd host in the plugins directory? If not, you probably need to re-install Nessus on the server.

Hi
I've read about Nessus built-in port scanner tcp connect() scan (plugin 10335) but after downloading the latest plugin from Nessus onto my Nessusd server (restarted daemon service) and reconnecting with NessusWX, I'm unable to locate this plugin in NessusWX.
SYN Scan (plugin 11219) is also not found.

Can anyone advise?

thanks,
Tony
