List-
Has anyone successfully implemented these scripts with Nessus? I
currently have Nessus 3.2.1 on a RH Server and use the command line to
execute my scans. Here is what happens when I attempt to use these
scripts:
The 1st script (update-nessus-plugins.pl) executes properly and
updates the plugins, creates the MD5, and archives everything
according to plan. When this scripts executes the
describe-nessus-plugin.pl script, it gives me an error saying that the
""plugin isn't available??
I have execute this in debug mode, and receive the same generic error.
If i execute the perl script (describe-nessus-plugin.pl) on it's own,
it properly gives me the output? I have modified the
update-nessus-plugin.pl script adding/updating the paths (line161 &
183) and then modifying lines 352-355 which call the
describe-nessus-plugins.pl script. This modification was made because
if i execute the script (describe-nessus-plugins.pl) without any
switches it's outcome is exactly what i need.
Here is the command i execute in an attempt to get the outcome desired:
sudo perl -T /opt/nessus/auto/update-nessus-plugins.pl -b -p -s >>
/home/cashby/plugins-report.txt
i have also attempted this with the same outcome:
sudo perl -T /opt/nessus/auto/update-nessus-plugins.pl -bps >>
/home/cashby/plugins-report.txt
I have attached the scripts for anyone to view, if anyone has any
suggestions that would be appreciated!
thanks-
