Hi, I am currently using nessus to test a site with very conscious administrators. All plugins being employed are very closely looked at. >From the experience, I have some issues to raise:
- What is the key to sort both plugin class list and detailed plugin list in the GUI's plugin selection screen? Is it configurable how the list is sorted? - When I click on a plugin in the GUI, a new window opens with the plugin description. That window's text area showing he plugin warning is often to narrow. Can I influence the geometry of that window, and can the nessus GUI be configured to use only one window to display the currently selected plugin's characteristics? - The HTML report doesn't seem to display the plugin name. When I want to turn off a plugin that generates too many false alarms, I need to use the nessus plugin ID. Can I configure nessus to include the plugin name in the report? - The HTML report links the Nessus ID to http://cgi.nessus.org/nessus_id.php3?id=$ID which seems to always lead to "View the source of this plugin 0 here" and a table that only displays "Family" and "Nessus plugin ID" but no information about the current plugin at all. - Is there any chance to determine what exactly a plugin does (like "this plugin connects to an http tcp port and sends a http request for /foo/bar/baz" or "this plugin retrieves the HKEY_FOO from the remote registry") short of looking at the sources? - Is there a bugzilla or kind of central wishlist and bug management?
