Bonjour et merci pour cette nouvelle release.

J'ai désinstallé l'ancienne et j'ai installé la nouvelle (serveur et client)

Toutefois, je l'ai testé vers une unique cible (un seul host) avec un policy que j'ai préalablement créée et au bout d'un moment, j'ai un message de Windows:
"scan.exe a rencontré un problème et doit fermer. ..."

Signature de l'erreur:

szAppName : scan.exe     szAppVer : 3.2.0.342     szModName : ScanTask.dll    
szModVer : 3.2.0.342     offset : 0001083b    

Contenu du rapport d'erreurs:

C:\DOCUME~1\LAMI~1.LAM\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER7226.dir00\scan.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\LAMI~1.LAM\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER7226.dir00\appcompat.txt

La machine Nessus (client et serveur sur la même machine) est un windows XP SP2.

Comment savoir ce qui c'est passé ?

Merci d'avance,

Gilles Lami

[Nessus-announce] Nessus 3.2.0 released





                 
Hi there,

Tenable is proud to announce the availability of Nessus 3.2.0, as well  
as NessusClient 3.2.0.

Nessus 3.2.0 is a major release, containing several changes from  
Nessus 3.0.x :


New Features
-------------

- Support for IPv6 targets (for the Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and Mac OS  
X flavors)
- Support for limiting the number of active TCP sessions in parallel  
(per host, per scan, per scanner)
- New "nessuscmd" tool lets one run quick scans from the command-line
- New "nessus-update" tool lets one update the Nessus engine from the  
command-line (on select platforms)
- nessusd can now detect hosts which are being turned off during the  
scan and stop scanning them
- nessusd can now detect when the network is congested and change the  
TCP settings appropriately
- more granular user rules can be used to prevent the scanner from  
connecting to certain ports or to use
certain plugins
- The 'nessus' command-line tool can read and write to and from  
a .nessus file
- Improved WMI support (see http://cgi.tenablesecurity.com/tenable/WMI.html)

Improvements
------------

- New nasl functions can dynamically alter the plugin selection
- Improved memory management by NASL scripts
- Support for more SSH ciphers (AES-128/AES-192/AES-256/3DES)
- Improved service detection -- a new service detection plugin  
(find_service.nasl) replaces the old find_service.nes
- On Unix systems, the initial plugin processing now takes advantage  
of multi-core CPUs
- nessusd.rules now let you tune which plugins are forbidden for a  
scan, and which ports can/can't be connected to

nessus_tcp_scanner specific improvements
----------------------------------------

- Simplified preferences -- a new cursor option (firewall detection)  
lets the user better tune the scanner when running against a firewall  
or a slow link
- Improved RTT estimation and congestion detection by regularly  
probing unfiltered ports



Windows Specific changes
-------------------------

- NessusGUI.exe has been removed in favor of NessusClient.exe which is  
now bundled with the installer
- It is now possible to authenticate the clients via SSL certificates
- KB saving and other options now work
- Installer now lets the users decide which components to install  
(server, client or both)
- When the scanner is registered, it will automatically fetch and  
process the new updates from nessus.org every 24 hours



Mac OS X Specific changes
--------------------------

- Fixed a memory leak in the client
- Nessus 3.2.0 now is a real universal binary



Linux platforms
---------------

With Nessus 3.2.0 being a major release, now is a good time to stop  
supporting some platforms and add support for others. Nessus is now  
available for the following Linux platforms :

- Debian 4 (i386 and amd64)
- Fedora 7 (i386)
- Fedora 8 (i386)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4 and 5 (i386)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86_64)
- SuSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0 (i386)


NessusClient 3.2.0 specific changes
------------------------------------

- New 'network' tab when editing a policy which lets the user control  
some Nessus 3.2 specific options
- Fixed several bugs which might cause the client to crash in the  
middle of a scan
- Opening a large .nessus file in the client now takes less time



Nessus 3.2.0 can be obtained at http://www.nessus.org/

Feedback and bug reports can be sent to http://bugs.nessus.org/


Thanks,

                                                                   -- Renaud
