Hi James,

Yes it is possible.

There is a '-p' option on the Nessus command line to dump out a list of plugins
from the remote Nessus scanner such as:

[root@kingghidora bin]# ./nessus -p 192.168.20.207 1241 <nessususer> <nessuspassword>

This dumps out everything about the description, family, name, .etc.

You'd need to do some text manipulation of the data to get it into the format you
are looking for.
