> Could you please provide the necessary information (CVE Numbers, Patch details etc) for all the plug-ins which are available in Nessus till date? The information you want is in comments in the ~20,000 plugins. George Theall has a perl script at http://www.tifaware.com/perl/describe-nessus-plugin/ to extract this sort of information. I run it unchanged under Windows using perl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/ I also needed wild.pm from http://perldoc.perl.org/perlwin32.html <http://perldoc.perl.org/perlwin32.html> so I could use wildcards in my script. The script I run to extract information from the plugins is simple: @echo off cd "C:\Sys\Vulnerability scanners\Nessus\plugins\scripts" perl -MWild -wT C:\App\Perl\site\bin\describe-nessus-plugin.pl --width 300 --functions id,family,name *.nasl >c:\temp\nessus-scripts.txt
Paths will need to be adjusted to match your installation and I'm extracting different information than you require. Reformatting the output for import into Excel shouldn't be too hard to do. Note that a small number of plugins are empty stubs and generate warnings when processed and one nasl script has mismatched braces in comments.
