Subject: Re: Command-line in linux
Your text file should have one line in for the range you wish to
scan:
Example:
1.1.1.0/24
Example the text file is called "text"
and is in your home dir
command will look something like this
#
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q -T html 127.0.0.1 1241 <nessus user>
<nessus
password> /home/user/text
/opt/nessus/target_dir/reports/scan.html
The command, to scan to filetype
"html" from server IP, on port, nessus
user and password, file to get ip
ranges from and file where to scan
results to.
Hope this makes
sense.
