Advanced Options for Asset Scans

Advanced Options	Suboption	Description
Scan Type	Ping	Sends a ping to each asset.
	Fast Scan	(Default) Scans the most common 100 ports.
	Normal	Scans the most common 1000 ports.
	Full Scan	Scans all ports. It can be slow.
	Custom	Allows the user to define the ports to scan.
Timing Template	Paranoid	Scans very slowly. It serializes all scans (no parallel scanning) and generally waits at least 5 min. between sending packets.
	Sneaky	Similar to paranoid mode, but it only waits 15 s between packet transmissions.
	Polite	Eases the network load and reduces the chance of system failure. It serializes the probes and waits at least 0.4 s to send the next probe.
	Normal	(Default) Scans at a rate that achieves the fastest scan throughput without overloading the network or missing hosts and ports.
	Aggressive	Adds a 5-min. timeout per host. Probe response intervals last no longer than 1.25 s.
	Insane	Only suitable for very fast networks unless you do not mind losing some information. Times out hosts in 75 s. Waits only 0.3 s for individual probes. Permits very fast network sweeps.
Autodetect Services and Operating System	None	Detects services and operating system versions. Enabled by default.
Enable Reverse DNS Resolution	None	Determines the domain names associated with the discovered IP addresses, normally against responsive (online) hosts only. Enabled by default.
