RE: NT4 Scanning

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).
