When i scan my whole network (16 networks, each class C) during network scanning hundreds of packets per second are being sent. My pix firewalls have 98% cpu.
Scanning through a firewall is not a good idea. You might overload & crash it, or it might drop some connections to protect the targets, giving you an incomplete result.
Can i in any way make network scanning slower ?
With Nessus 3.1, you can limit the number of open connections by setting "global.max_simult_tcp_sessions http://blog.tenablesecurity.com/2007/02/nessus_32_beta_.html _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
