Oracle auth type
NORMAL, SYSOPER, and SYSDBA are supported. Depending on the privileges
required by the .audit commands, enhanced privileges such as “SYSOPER” or
“SYSDBA” may be required. In most cases, however, the “NORMAL” auth type will
suffice.
SQL Server auth type
Windows or SQL are supported.
Do not scan fragile devices (plugin 22481) instructs the Nessus scanner not to scan network printers or Novell Netware
hosts if unselected. Since both of these technologies are more prone to denial of service conditions, Nessus can skip
scanning them once identified. This is particularly recommended if scanning is performed on production networks.
Global variable settings (plugin 12288) contains a wide variety of configuration options for the Nessus server.

Probe services on every
port
Attempts to map each open port with the service that is running on that port. Note that
in some rare cases, this might disrupt some services and cause unforeseen side
effects.
