Re: Command line report export

Thanks for the feedback Mike. For some reason the Windows command-line 
(nessuscmd.exe --help) doesn't seem to have the same options. I'll have to 
move this over to a Linux box and do some more research. Any idea on 
importing the NMAP scan output ?

Thanks,

Chris

Re: Command line report export







from `nessus --help`: 

Batch-mode scan: 
 nessus -q [-pPS] <host> <port> <user> <pass> <targets-file> <result-file> 


The batch mode (-q) arguments are : 
----------------------------------- 
        host     : nessusd host 
        port     : nessusd host port 
        user     : user name 
        pass     : password 
        targets  : file containing the list of targets 
        result   : name of the file where 
                   nessus will store the results 

General options : 
        -v : shows version number 
        -h : shows this help 
        -T : Output format: 'nbe', 'nsr', 'html', 'nessus' or 'txt' 
        -V : make the batch mode display status messages 
            to the screen. 
        -x : override SSL "paranoia" question preventing nessus from 
            checking certificates.

Command line report export








I was wondering if there was a way to run a nessus scan from start to end 
using the command-line. I need to script the running of a nessus scan on a 

regular basis and it would be nice to kick it off at the command-line and 
then have the results exported as an HTML file to a desired location at 
the end.

Also, it is possible to import the results of an NMAP scan into nessus to 
avoid having to double scan hosts ? Seems like a waste if I've already 
scanned 65535 ports using NMAP.

Thanks,

Chris
