Lately, I ran NESSUS 2.6 against a list of seven (7) Check Point VPN-1 on Windows hosts with different results:
The 1st run, the report showed 6 hosts instead of all 7, missing one host. ( I had triple checked the IP addresses were accurate.) The 2nd run, right after the first run, against the same list of hosts, the report showed three (3) hosts *including* the one missing in the 1st run, five their disappeared, or not responded.
The 3rd run, on the second day, the report showed 2 hosts. Appreciate any thought on these scenarios are appreciated.
