Re: TWO CONSECUTIVE ATTACKS ON THE SAME PORT
[In reply to]

I think you're mistaken in how Nessus operates. Nessus does not
skip the test. Nessus pauses, then runs the test. All tests will
be run against the particular host if appropriate. Timing
in terms of multiple connections to the same port in a short
time period only affects how long nessus takes to run the tests,
not the execution of the tests themselves.
