I have a similar question; I had a length email a few days back.
I was wondering the same thing. For two reasons: 1. Ability to use a config from windows cmd-line nessus just as you are looking to do. 2. Interoperability linux-windows as either <client>or <server> with ability to run the config. I am limited to what hardware exists, each have a dedicated role and looking to utilized some of the spare cpu/memory for a much needed audit. Here is what I know about the Linux client and Windows nessus server: I have been using nessus client from linux to start all scans. I have been using some windows nodes. If I pass the option for the config to the windows nodes the CPU is pegged and the scans rarely even run. Running 3.0.6 on everything, not sure if any of the beta stuff will resolve this issue of eating all the nessus client cpu time. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of p1g Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 11:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Windows Commandline Greetings, Can you use a config file or IP list in conjunction with commandline scanning on Win32 nessus? Or are you limited to an ip/iprange and policy? TIA -- -p1g SnortCP ,,__ o" )~ oink oink ' ' ' ' If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked.
