Explanation
There are four types of vulnerability assessment solutions: product-based solutions, service- based solutions, tree-based assessment, and inference-based assessment. In an inference-based assessment, scanning starts by building an inventory of the protocols found on the machine. After finding a protocol, the scanning process starts to detect which ports are attached to services, such as an email server, web server, or database server. After finding services, it selects vulnerabilities on each machine and starts to execute only those relevant
