Re: Nessus In a VM

I use the Nessus Applicance with the Professional Feed running in VirtualBox on top of a BackTrack 4 install.  I scan a 
Class C on a Dual Core laptop with about 3GB Ram and I can't say I notice any performance issues.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Nessus In a VM





Greeting All, 


I have heard Paul talk about using Nessus in a VM many times, and I know that if you  run Nessus in a VM you  
eventually run into limitations of the VM software.  Can you  tell me what the limitations are.  The three computers I 
will be running Nesuss in a VM all have Quad Core CPU with at least 8 GB of RAM.  So there should not be an issue of 
hard that could support Nessus if installed directly on the system.




Thanks, 


Cody
