[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] security analyzer and scanner
I allready know that and that is why you should first get to know with the exploit and exploit afterwards (DO NOT shoot FIRST and ask questions later). Yes... I agree with you. It is dangerous. But i just can't believe you had to re-install the W98 machine all over again. I use Nessus for 3 months now and since then i used it against W95B, W98, W98SE, WIN NT 4 WRK SP3, WIN NT 4 WRK SP4, WIN NT 4 WRK SP5, WIN NT 4 WRK SP6, WIN NT 4 WRK SP6a and allmost all the Server Products (including 2 Interactive Unix machines and Nessus itself). The only BAD thing happened was that i HAD to re-boot the damn machines to clean them up (you must have noticed the existence of "Nessus" directories in the HD of the machines attacked). So... Yes... IT IS A LITTLE BIT DANGEROUS... But it is also freeware... It just can't (in my humble opinion) FUBAR (remember Tango and Cash???) the PC's you exploit... Reporting is gorgeous... Exploits come up all the time. Upgrading don't cost a thing. The decision is up to you. You can install Nessus (cost is just a PIII 450MHz, 128MB RAM, 4GB HDD, SVGA 1024x768 16K) or you can install.............. Whatever... Personally... I LOVE NESSUS. WAY TO GO NESSUS TEAM!!!

I just wanted to warn you that using Nessus there is an option of using or not using dangerous plugins. IT MEANS DANGEROUS !!!! I enabled all plugins once and did a scan on a win98 box. It screwed the box up beyond recognition. The drive had to be fdisked.

You will find out that even free software can beat the ass out of MAJOR software houses. Best of all... IT IS FREEWARE (GNU) and you can install your own exploits or update it's database. I am using it on regular basis (that is everyday...)... ;-). You can also take a look at http://www.vulnerabilities.org where you can scan against your machines and have a look at Nessus in action.
