similar to: nessus would not compile under 8.1

I'm trying to get nessus setup for doing some internal security checking. I installed the ports for nessus and nessus-plugins, and everything worked as expected. I then registered for the full feed of plugins, which got me up to over 10,000 plugins. I restarted nessus, and it didn't work at all. I am running without X11, so I'm doing batch runs. I already have nmap installed, so I

I'm trying to get get nessus 2.2.5 to install on my centos 3.5 system. It errors out with this error: Press ENTER to continue x - Compiling the libraries x -- Configuring the sources for your system configure: error: Could not find OpenSSL and OpenSSL headers on your system **** An error occured :/ Do you want to save the compilation log to analyze what went wrong ? [y] Where should I save

Anyone know of a good vulnerability scanner they would recommend besides Nessus? Been googling, but a recommendation is preferred. Looking for another to run and compare the results I get with Nessus. Thanks, James

We've been struggling with a problem for the past couple of days which to this point I've only gotten to be able to boil down to this: 1. Install nessus home edition (less pluggins I assume) 2. run all scans (sequentially or in parallel, doesn't seem to matter) 3. about 3 minutes in /var/log/messages will show segfaults on imap and/or pop3 imap-login[22185]: segfault at

I run samba 2.2.8a on my openbsd 3.4 box, installed from a package. All i need is the ability to mount disks form winxp boxes so i only run smbd, at 139/tcp. I tried scanning the box with nessus, and it came up with some results that got me curious. Since i dont know very much about the smb protocol I thought i should ask here. Have searched the archives but found only old posts, concering

Hi all, I think I've found a Bug in current rc2 (same occours with rc1 and 0.99.9.1). I'am running dovecot with imap, pop3 and the ssl equivalents, after a nessus scan of my host with Bruteforce checks on IMAP, imap-login eats up lots of cpu. Before the scan: dovecot 22342 0.0 0.1 2320 636 ? SN Jun18 0:00 imap-login dovecot 5841 0.0 0.1 2320 692 ? SN Jun21

Hi, My name is Joseph Villa, I'm new to the message boards and I'm also new to Samba. I just got an e-mail back on our Nessus scans.. Here are the 2 that are relivant.. 1.) The remote host has accessible LOGS$ share. ScriptLogic creates this share to store the logs, but does not properly set the permissions on it. As a result, anyone can use it to read the remote logs. Solution:

Hi! Our computer center is currently examining registered servers (offering services passing the firewall) using Nessus. Yesterday I had a ssh-connection closing on one host. Today I have seen serv01 155: channel 0: istate 4 != open channel 0: ostate 64 != open popping up, the connection survived however... In both cases the client host was not scanned but the server host (one was Linux, one

Hi: I have a machine with four interfaces connecting four different networks. I am learning to use nmap and trying to force the nmap working only one interface. As nmap man page states, I use -e option and it would not work: nmap -e fx0 -v -sP 192.168.128.0/23 Starting Nmap 3.95 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-02-04 14:04 CST getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (el0)

This message was sent to bugtraq today: While playing around with FreeBSD 5.4 and jailing I discovered that it was possible to put an ethernet interface into promiscious mode from within the jailed environment, allowing a packetsniffer to gather data not meant for the jailed box. This also affects FreeBSD 5.3 (tested) but not FreeBSD 4.x This can be reproduced on boxes where BPF support is

Hi all: I have strange probelm with rc.conf. I set up ipfw (compiled into kernel) on freebsd-5.4 and it doesn't seem to load ipfw rulesets (it uses default ruleset 65335 locking out everything).

Lately I have been trying to get Warcraft II BNE to work on my FreeBSD machine. I check the Application Database and Warcraft II BNE is supposed to work fine under Wine. I started out by updating my ports tree and installing Wine-20050524. I could not get the installer to run under that version, so I installed Wine-20041201. Under 20041201 I was able to install the game, but the game

Hi all: Did any one use ipfw with CARP before? is there anything specific about ipfw configurations working with CARP? I have two servers and they configured with CARP. they are working fine except i can't turn on ipfw. I have the exact same configuration except ip addresses; those same rule sets of ipfw work on one server but not on another. Thanks all

Recently, i scanned my samba4.1 server by Nessus (a vulnerability scanner tool - http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus) Nessus says that Samba4 is vulnerable to "LDAP NULL BASE Search Access" as "The remote LDAP server may disclose sensitive information." Further it says that - The remote LDAP server supports search requests with a null, or empty, base object. This allows
