URGENT INFO NEEDED: Some Clarifications Required on Nessus Functionality

Hi All,



Please clear some of my doubts on Nessus as below:



1. If I run a scan for a large number of boxes in the network(say 500), it will generate a large report. Is there any way to drill down that complex report depending on some specifications say:



a.      How many Operating Systems - HP-UX,Linux,Windows scanned?

b.      How many Routers scanned?

c.       How many Switches scanned?

d.      How many Bridges scanned?

e.       How many Desktops scanned?

f.        How many Firewalls scanned?

g.      How many Servers scanned?

I know Nessus gives reports only based on the IP(s) given for scanning. Is there any utility which can give the numbers as I specified above of these network elements and others?



2. Is there any documentation available describing how to read through the lengthy reports?



3. Can I implement SOXX Compliance using Nessus? If so, how or rather what is the procedure?



Please let me know as soon as possible as this is urgent.



Thanks in advance. :)



Regards,

Sutapa
