You mean you want to automatically update your nessusrc file with plugins as they become available, correct? There is / was a python script to do this. It's called update-nessusrc.py and written by Jay Jacobson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The last version I can find via Google, though, requires communications with the nessus server be *unencrypted*. Since I don't use python and use SSL on my server, I just finished writing my own version of this in perl. It allows you to specify categories of plugins, include or exclude specific ones, or some combination; then it queries the server for the latest list and updates a specified nessusrc file in place. I intend to run it daily via cron just like I do nessus-update-plugins. If you or anyone else would be interested in this, let me know and I'll put together some docs and a distribution file. > 2.how to know about new released plugins The script I believe Vince Hoffman was talking about in his message is nessus-plugin-logger.pl, by Austin Gilbert (AGILBERT_at_sjmc.org). It's a wrapper around the nessus-update-plugins command. He posted a copy to the nessus list last July; search the archives to find it. George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
