How long does a scan take?
• Ping Sweep of 10 million IPs 5-10 hours: – This time depends on the physical distance and latency of the line between NeXpose and the target system. The assumption is approx. 150ms per IP. • Port Scan of 3000 devices (default ports/SYN scan) 16-18 hours – This is relatively easy to predict since open ports do not affect the speed of a SYN scan. A full connect scan will be slower based on the number of open ports. Also varies based upon the distance between the devices and the latency on the line. The assumption is approx. 45 seconds per device. • Vulnerability Scan of 1500 devices 15-20 hours – This widely varies based on the number of ports open per device. The more ports open on a machine the longer it will take to conduct the vulnerability scan. The assumption is approx. 2 minutes per device.
