I don't think there's a way to do this directly, but if you don't mind
some finaggling, you can do this using two of my scripts:
- Run update-nessus-plugins to update your plugins and generate
a summary of changes to plugins.
- Filter the summary using awk/sed/perl/... to get the ids
of new plugins
- Run update-nessusrc to regenerate your config file, explicitly
excluding the new plugins you just identified. Note: you need
to first figure out how to replicate your config file using
update-nessusrc.
update-nessus-plugins can be found at
<http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessus-plugins/>; update-nessusrc
at <http://www.tifaware.com/perl/update-nessusrc/>.
As an aside, if you have safe_checks enabled, new unsafe plugins will be
disabled.
