This means the scan is Unauthenticated (Non-Credentialed). It scans systems from the network without logging into them. Unauthenticated Scan: Nessus scans a Windows computer remotely and discovers: - IP address: 192.168.1.10 - Open ports: 80, 443, 445 - Possible Windows version Authenticated Scan: Nessus logs into the Windows computer using authorized credentials and can inspect: - Windows Registry values - Installed patches - Local security configurations
A scanner should scan the entire registry considering that it has the proper credentials. I've never had to specify a registry key nonetheless a key value. I personally do not like the answer given but, if I have to pick one, I'm going with the IP address. I will usually specify an IP address or range of IP addresses when configuring/performing a scan.
It would have been clearer to be if it was phrased.. what would be missing from the scan results - instead of. Anyway, I agree with B.
