Not sure if this should go in this section or not. I recently started working as a government
contractor supporting the C&A efforts of a DoD agency. The tool for vulnerability scanning is
Retina, but since I am not very familiar with it, just had a few questions that
hopefully someone on this forum can answer.
Most of the scanning we do here is for stand-alone workstations/servers. I’ve noticed that if I do the scan from a
remote laptop (not part of a domain, just linked by IP through a switch) I get different
results than if I was doing the scan locally (with Retina installed on the same
device I am scanning). I found an
article on the knowledge base (KB000696) that talks a bit about setting up
Windows Local Security Policy manually, which I have done, but still the scans
are much more robust if done from the same machine I am auditing. My biggest concern is that if I install Retina
on the same machine I want to scan, I will change the original baseline of that
box (I noticed .NET 2.0 started to install on one occasion when I did this).
Is Retina meant to be run ONLY on a network environment?
Running v5.9.4, btw.
