I was unable to locate the "tcp port scanner" (plugin ID: 10335) in the Windows versionIIRC, this plugin is not part of the Windows version, as it would be horribly slow. 1. Windows XP SP2 limits the number of half open connections => parallelism would be greatly reduced, which has an impact on firewalled machines. 2. Windows IP stack retransmits SYN packets when it receives a RST!From the scanner point of view, it would seem that the RTT to a targeton your LAN is ~ 2 s, which would once again result in horrible performances. So, use the SYN scanner. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
