Configures the scanner.
Verbose output: Enables additional output to the log files.
Scan if ping fails: The scanner attempts exploits if the host is not able to return ping
requests. This is frequently the case when a firewall is between the host and the
scanner. See
Grab Critical Files: Enables the scanner to copy critical files to the local system. These files

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) Checks
Max Ports/Thread: Maximum number of ports that a thread can open at once.
Ping Timeout (ms): Maximum time out value for a ping, in milliseconds. This may be decreased
on fast networks to allow more rapid network enumeration, or increased on slower
networks if not all hosts are found.
Additional scan ports: The Scanner checks for services on over 100 well-known ports. In order to
check for services on a wider range of ports, additional ports may be added using
this option. The ports should be defined as either a range separated with a
dash (1-3000), or as a comma separated list (5000,6000,7000). Ranges and lists
can be combined. For example:
1-3000,6000,7000-9000
