My Snort IDS Sensor Detected Nessus Vulnerability Scan

[Teo En Ming <teo.en.ming () gmail com>]

Hi,

My Snort IDS sensor detected nessus vulnerability scan. The nessus
vulnerability scan was launched from WAN outside of HOME_NET. However, the
alerts generated were few. It seems that Snort rules are not comprehensive
enough.

Here are the alerts:
