Synopsis
OpenSSL was detected on the remote Linux host.Description
OpenSSL was detected on the remote Linux host.The plugin timeout can be set to a custom value other than the plugin's default of 15 minutes via the 'timeout.168007' scanner setting in Nessus 8.15.1 or later.

Note: This plugin leverages the '-maxdepth' find command option, which is a feature implemented by the GNU find binary. If the target does not support this option, such as HP-UX and AIX devices, users will need to enable 'thorough tests' in their scan policy to run the find command without using a '-maxdepth' argument.
