Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A vulnerability scanner is too noisy to use in most cases, even though common tools such as Nessus will do most of the footprinting work for the attacker. It is safer to pick the interesting machines one by one and try to find out as much as possible about them as it might be possible to choose an attack strategy without a vulnerability scan at all.
