I have successfully run Nessus on VMWare. I didn't seem to have any problems with the scanning itself. I am not familiar with Virtuozzo, but if its anything like VMWare I would suggest checking how the network adapters are handled. Matt -----Original Message----- From: Todd A.

I'm having only intermittent success. Nessus doesn't support setting the source IP directly, and for some reason keeps generating packets with a source IP of 127.0.0.1. I brought this up on the Nessus list, but haven't had any joy. I can't be the only person in the universe who's tried to run Nessus from one of these virtual boxes, so I'm hoping *someone* can tell me that it's been successfully done. If not, recommendations for a virtual hosting provider that fully supports the operation of security scanners would be most welcome. -- The DMCA is anti-consumer.
