Hello,
I am using Cygwin(1.5.8-1) to run the Nessus security scanner. I have compiled the Nessus server on Cygwin running on Windows XP, and have successfully executed various plugins.
I have come across a couple of problems with the Nessus on Cygwin(1.5.8-1), which dont appear when I run it on linux.
1. The server sometimes hangs after running 20 or 30 plugins. Sometimes it may run about 100 plugins and hang. It seems to hang arbitrarily i.e., it does not hang after running a specific plugin, or after some number of plugins. I even tried leaving the client-server on for more than an hour. 2. Nessusd gets a SIGSEGV signal and terminates. This seems to occur after it writes a socketpair error in the dump file.
If anyone has come across these problems on Cygwin, I would appreciate any feedback/pointers to resolving them. Also, if someone has run Nessus on Cygwin successfully, it would be great to get feedback on that.
Thanks, -- Abhijit
