Hello,We're trying to perform a scan for a single plugin from the command line (cron, etc.), but we're having trouble finding information on the config file format.
To this point, we've been setting up the scan with NessusClient, saving the config file, and running similar to the following.
nessus -c [config file] -q -T xml \ [nessus server] [nessus server port] [username] [password] \ [target file] [outputfile.xml]The problem is: when we run the config from NessusClient, we've got a specific port range we want to scan (say: 100-110/tcp), and it does as requested.
When we scan from the command line using the same config (without modifying the server by updating plugins or anything), it scans the entire port range (1-65536/tcp). This causes some firewall woes.
Note: we've not yet investigated update-nessusrc yet. Is it necessary? Questions:1. Where can we find more documentation on working the command line (or batch mode) tool. We've checked the man page, the PDFs (advanced users guide, client guide, and install guide) and are still looking.
2. Is the config file saved from NessusClient supposed to work as input for nessus' command line/batch mode?
3. Are there any suggestions as to how to proceed with the above problem?
