To edit our new scan policy, click the ninth icon—the magic wand button—under
the menu options. Doing so will open the Policy Editor screen (shown in Figure 7.6),
from which you can customize configurable settings, found in the folder tree to the left
of the screen, that are enabled for this policy. These configurations are as follows:
Common Settings. Global settings that may be applied to groups of vulnerability
checks.
FlexChecks. User-defined vulnerability scan conditions.
Vulnerabilities. Contains the vulnerability checks for this scan.
Services. Lists the types of services that are accessed during the scan, including
remote procedure call (RPC), TCP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and
Windows NT.
Accounts. Lists the types of accounts that the scanner will check for while it
scans a target. These accounts include Finger, NetBIOS, and RPC.
To edit any of these settings, simply click a subfolder from the main folder tree and
configure the appropriate properties from the settings in the right window, as shown
in Figure 7.7.
