Thank you. If Nessus will not flag these, the natural follow up question would be - which version of Nessus would be best for flagging the NT flaws that the latest version will not? Perhaps my question is irrelevant and the version does not matter - is it purely to do with the fact that the latest list of Nessus plugins no longer identifies flaws in NT4?
I've had cause to scan a network with some NT4 boxes still utilised. The Nessus report tells me that NT4 checks are now disabled. Can anyone tell me what the latest version of Nessus is whereby NT4 checks are enabled please, or whether these checks may be enabled in ver 3.0.6.The NT4 checks are not really disabled. NT4 itself is not supported by Microsoft -- many public flaws exist for this system and do not have a patch available, and Nessus will not flag these (ie: you might do a scan of a NT4 box and it might come up with no result, but that does not mean the system is free of flaws). -- Renaud
