Hi,
I am having a problem specifying which type of ports scan is being run.
In my config file, I have:
Nmap (NASL wrapper)[radio]:TCP scanning technique : = SYN scan
And do not have another line like this, it's the only one.
When I run my scan, I do ps -ef to see what command nessus is passing to
nmap, and I see:
nmap -n -P0 -oG /usr/local/var/nessus/tmp/nmap-10.10.10.10-83168732 -sT
-p 1-65535
To me, this is nmap doing a connect scan, which is causing an
applicationt o crash. If I nmap on it manually and do a SYN scan, the
application does not crash, which is the reason I'd like nessus to use
NMAP doing a SYN scan.
Anybody know why Nessus isn't passing nmap the -sS option instead of the
-sT option?
Thanks,
Pete Duffin

You may want to upgrade now as Nessus 2.x versions < 2.2.9 may have
problems with plugins in a few weeks; ie, see:
<http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus-announce/2007-May/msg00000.html
.
When I scan with only the "build-in" Plugins, nessus do an portscan
bevor all other checks and scan only found hosts. If I use the plugins
of the registered Feed, nessus do no (visible) portscan and checks the
whole network, also non existend hosts.
The lines from nessusd.messages that you included in your message aren't
helpful in diagnosing your problem. They just show Nessus starting one
scan and launching plugins in the Settings family (eg,
ssh_settings.nasl, .. dont_scan_settings.nasl). These plugins are always
launched and just update settings in each target host's KB but don't
actually send any packets.
Are you able to show the log lines from scans before and after updating
plugins? And perhaps with lines relating to the scanning plugins that
you've configured?
