Nessus Vulnerability Scan

Successfully set up and scanned my Windows 11 VM using Nessus. To ensure connectivity for

the scan, I initially disabled the firewall on the VM using the Windows Firewall Management

Console (wf.msc).

The primary goal was to perform a credentialed scan of the VM. To prepare for this, I enabled

the “Remote Registry”service, allowing the scanner to access the registry and identify potential

misconfigurations. Additionally, I turned on network discovery and enabled file and printer

sharing to facilitate seamless communication between Nessus and the target system.

In the Nessus configuration, I specified the target VMs IP address along with a valid

administrative username and password. Performing a credentialed scan provided deeper

access to the system, enabling the identification of vulnerabilities that could be exploited by

users with elevated privileges, such as insider threats.
