I'm getting ready to kick of an external scan of Weber.
Since it's a new version of Nessus, I had to try and remember some of the scan settings we used from last round's policies. Here are a few I remember:
- We are not scanning fragile devices (Network Printers and Novell Netware hosts)
- We are scanning Web Applications and I enabled "Enable generic web application tests". But I'm just using the defaults, no special settings.
- Safe Checks are enabled
- I'm just using the default Performance Options. (Network timeout=5, max checks per host=5, max hosts per scan=100)
If any of you have recommendations for changes to the scan settings, just let me know and I'll kill the scan, make the changes, and start it up again.
