Nessus Server API for customized clients
Hello,

With a variety of Client options beyond the "standard" Nessus Client (e.g. Nessconnect, etc) that each put their own "twist" on reporting/scheduling/automating/etc with the Nessus Server, one can't help but think that there's some type of API / interface for "communicating" with the Nessus server (in our case, we just want to add the functionality to automate scans on a recurring basis a little more elegantly than using cron jobs and we may want to integrate this into our corporate sharepoint portal so that our end users would have a "click to scan your machine" button or something)

Any leads in this direction?

I've checked the ProfessionalFEED customer service portal and I can't seem to find anything in regards to this

Thanks

-Charles

You want the Nessus Tranfer Protocol (ntp). Download the Nessus 2.2.11
core source code from the nessus.org website. In the archive is a
doc/ntp folder with the whitepaper.
