Well, crackers shouldn't be using Nessus at crack, hack, or attack systems in the first place. Network administrators with the authority and permission should be the users (in a corporate environment) of Nessus for vulnerability testing. That way, results such as a DoS that might happen to the servers that are being tested can be expected and the red flag won't be raised at the onset of the testing.
