Nessus portscan takes loooooong
Hi folks!
I decided it was about time I ran anoth full Nessus attack against my
main server, especially now that my workstation is running Sid, so I
get the latest nessus.
However, the initial portscan takes an extremely long time... Actually,
I haven't seen it finish, because I had to turn my computer off at
night... :-) But something like 10 hours, it seems like it would need
to do a portscan... WTF? There's is a progress bar, it moves this slow.
It is just a normal portscan using nmap, that's what nessus starts with,
isn't it...? Something that usually would take like, 6 minutes...
Looking at the network load of the server, the first 6 minutes or so of
the process, it is high, but the after that, there seems to be no
abnormal traffic.
Anybody else seen something like this?
Cheers,
Kjetil
