Re: Nessus activity detection quest

["Joel Esler (jesler)" <jesler () cisco com>]

So, you are doing a portscan, and the only alerts you see are portscans?

Nessus doesn't actually send exploits at a machine, it scans for the presence of characteristics that would make the 
machine vulnerable to an exploit.  There's nothing for Snort to detect, except the portscan part really.

Hi List!

snort-2.9.7.0

I`m looking for some Snort rules for a Nessus activity detection.
Got an another alerts, but my Snort does not reveal a Nessus activity.
The preprocessor sfportscan detection only i see.
