How do I disable active exploitation for network scans?

Tests with active exploiting will try to exploit the target by e.g. sending malicious data.

This can be done against an environment to really see if it's exploitable.

4. Click Create scan profile or edit an existing profile.
5. Click Vulnerabilities and uncheck the box for Tests for vulnerabilities that are known to be exploited.
