Typically I’ve been scanning boxes without credentials but I can do it with them and get a better snapshot of the host. It should tell you if it’s out of date either way by the banners it pulls but without credentials it’s not 100%

How are people handling scanning of VMware ESX/ESXi hosts? Note that

I'm not referring to the VM's within these hosts, but the hosts

themselves.

Is there any point to creating a local account on the system that

Nessus can access via SSH? Would it then tell me if my version of ESXi

is out of date, etc?
