Description

The following information is for Scan Diagnostic purposes only, and is not indicative of a detected vulnerability.

Scanning was unsuccessful as the scan engine was unable to agree a set of SSH algorithms to set up communications with the target. Target will need to be configured to use SSH algorithms that are supported by the scan engine.
