Re: Nmap and nessus commands

I apologize for any flamings that will follow, but I'm always
surprised to see people with such titles as "senior network engineers"
or "senior this or that" or people who work for security consulting
firms asking such questions as "how do I use nmap or nessus?"  or "how
do I test this?"  for some more advance scenarios, I can understand,
but COME ON, how do u use nmap and nessus?  A simple google search or
reading the man page will answer those questions.  What happened to
the old research it before posting it model?
man, to those people, give me your job, I'm sure you get paid more
than me. or heck, hired me to do the scanning...or better yet, hire
the the High school kid in your neigborhood. : )  /rant.....sorry.
