Yes, it is possible that the scanned servers are so well protected that there is no output generated. This is because passive vulnerability scanners only collect information that is passively available on the network, such as network traffic and logs. If the servers are configured to not disclose any information about their vulnerabilities, then the passive scanner will not be able to identify any vulnerabilities.

Here are some possible reasons why the passive vulnerability scanner might not be generating any output:

    The servers are not responding to the scanner's probes. This could be because the servers are not configured to respond to probes, or because the scanner is not sending probes to the correct ports.
    The servers are using encryption to protect their traffic. This will prevent the scanner from being able to read the traffic and identify any vulnerabilities.
    The servers are using firewalls to block the scanner's probes. This could be because the firewalls are not configured to allow traffic from the scanner, or because the scanner is not using the correct IP addresses or ports.

If you are concerned that your servers might be so well protected that they are not being properly scanned, you could try using an active vulnerability scanner. Active scanners send probes directly to the servers, which can help to identify vulnerabilities that would not be detected by a passive scanner.

Here are some additional things you can do to troubleshoot the problem:

    Check the scanner's logs to see if there are any errors being reported. This could help to identify the cause of the problem.
    Make sure that the scanner is configured correctly. This includes checking that the scanner is using the correct IP addresses, ports, and credentials.
    Try scanning the servers from a different network segment. This could help to rule out any problems with the network configuration.
