[en] New version of nessus_tcp_scanner

The new nessus_tcp_scanner will be quicker but more reliable, I hope. It estimates the Round Trip Time instead of using the default fixed timeout, it runs several passes against a slow target and tries to detect heavily firewalled machines or BSD systems with RST rate limitation. This way, it does a full TCP scan of a BSD system in a couple of minutes instead of eleven.
You'll have to wait for Nessus 2.2.6 to get this marvel.

OK, I should drop this topic and get a life.
Or at least, instead of practicing witchcraft, I should try to build a model for port scan.
Thinking before doing... Looks like a good idea.
