I've found the easiest way is to make a config file using the gui that has the options you want, at least until you remmeber all of the options you want and can write the config file by hand. Then point nessus at the config file from the command line using the -c option
In the config file, port_range defines the port range, and you can do things like 1-134,136-65535 to exclude ports. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hari Sekhon > Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 7:43 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Nessus command line client and excluding ports > > I am using the nessus command line client on a server (no graphical > interface) and would like to know if there is a way to > exclude ports from being scanned. > > It seems that not as much attention has gone into the command > line version, I assume everybody uses the graphical client? > The command line use of the client doesn't seem to be a full > of options - I'm sure they are there even in the cli version, > just not obviously documented and I didn't find much in the > documentation section on the website. > > Could somebody please point me in the right direction > regarding using the client from the command line? > > -h > > -- > Hari Sekhon > > _______________________________________________ > Nessus mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus > _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
