We have a UNIX estate, does this credentialed scan work on them as well ? On 20 December 2011 17:09, Shane Anglin <shane.anglin () gmail com> wrote:
And the tools are all signature based... To truly find the most vulnerabilities, that takes a gifted penetration testing person.

I know that Nessus can solve this problem using credentialed scan, but what issues are there with credentialed scans?

As nessus is a "knowledge base" driven tool, it cannot discover vulnerabilities which aren't in its base. Some Blind Sql injections, buffer and heap overflows will not be covered by scanning tools. Social engeneering will not be covered as well ;) About the glorified repackaged scans, that is indeed a really sad reality... :( On 19/12/2011, at 21:48, Todd Haverkos <infosec () haverkos com> wrote:Fábio Soto <fabio () andradesoto com br> writes:Nessus or any other scanning tool will give too much false positives, or fail to detect many vulnerabilities.That's not true in my experience if credentialed scanning is used, unless you're highlighting that scanners do poorly against web app vulns. Passive vulnerability scanning is not prone to false positives either, for what it's worth.Probably you'll need some professional pentesting services.Which at the low and unethical end are glorified repackaged Nessus or [insert other vuln scanner] scans (sad to say).
