Nessus binding to multiple listener interfaces
Hello all,
I have a multi homed machine (6 interfaces) and I want to bind the
nessus daemon to listen on two of the interfaces, but the "nessusd -a
192.168.1.1" syntax only appears to support a single address.
I've tried to put multiple entries in there seperated by a comma in the
usual way and also multiple -a flags, also I've tried putting it in the
main nessusd config file as a configuration entry the same way.
With multiple declarations it just appears to take the last declaration
and listen on that alone, and with multiple entries on one line, it
errors.
Is there a way to achieve this, or is it just not currently possible?

Regards

I don't believe Nessus will do this per se. One possible workaround
would be to allow nessusd to listen to all interfaces and then adjust
your firewall rules to limit access to only certain interfaces.
