Hi,

 
Plz help.
I've got 2 PCs running ubuntu connected to a switch and installed nessus today on one of them.I'm trying to scan the other machine for DoS & webserver attacks.The report at the end of the scan shows nothing except the list of ports(ssh,ftp,http....).I even removed the safe check option & enabled all plugins in an attempt to see whether the PC crashes,but nothing seems to happen...Could anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong here.Is it cz both the nessus client & server r on the same machine.....

the links I followed to install & configure nessus:

http://rusecure.rutgers.edu/services/ed ... d-usage-(i used localhost as Nessus Host instead of 10.10.10.10 in the example)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27674 

I am working on my dissertation-server testing,and wish to learn to use nessus.I've setup an intranet,but to get started,used only 2 PCs for the nessus scan...Thanks in advance,Cheers

David
