Nessus Home Scan against Sophos UTM 9.201-23

Hi all,

I've launched some Nessus tests agains my UTM setup and on two identical scans, nessus came with slightly different results:

Scan #1 resulted as this found items:

Low 50686 IP Forwarding Enabled
Info 12053 Host Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Resolution
Info 19506 Nessus Scan Information
Info 35716 Ethernet Card Manufacturer Detection

While scan #2 showed only these items (no IP Forwarding Enabled):

Info 12053 Host Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Resolution
Info 19506 Nessus Scan Information
Info 35716 Ethernet Card Manufacturer Detection

Absolutely nothing changed on the UTM between the two scans.[:O]

Any idea on your side?
Thanks,
Regards,
m.

Neither of those result sets are bad.

As to why they are different, probably variations in how the TCP/IP stack was responding to the scan.
