RE: plugin 10919

["Scott Pate" <spate@Spohncentral.com>]

Not sure if this got through the first time:

 

 

 I'm trying to determine the significance of this plugin and how it impacts the report.  I have several reports where this plugin says a "port was open at the beginning of the scan, and is now closed..." but there is still output from other plugins for that port.  If check_ports.nasl determines a port to be closed, do other plugins launch against the port after that, or does nessus consider the port to be closed?

 

Also :

 

Does the plugin determine a port to be closed if it fails to open a tcp socket (in which case the port may not be closed), or if it receives a RST (in which case the port is most definitely closed)? 

 

 

What would be the implications of disabling this plugin? 

 

thanks
