I'm putting together an automated reporting tool which pulls discovered vulnerability plugin ID's from a database and generates a report of the top, say, five. Rather than reporting the Plugin-ID, I'd like to do a quick, automated search on the Nessus site and pull down the NAME of the ID. Is there any way to do that short of crafting a clever CURL command?
You can use Perl :) -- Script attached bbj@roscoe:~$ perl nessussearch.pl 55532 Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Client Installed bbj@roscoe:~$ I would recommend Paul's approach and have something cached locally though, no sense in hammering Nessus' servers. Shouts to byte_bucket post posting his simple command line solution in the IRC channel to start me down this path. -- Ben Jackson - Mayhemic Labs bbj () mayhemiclabs com - http://www.mayhemiclabs.com - +1-508-296-0267 "Assume that what is in the power of one man to do, is in the power of another"
