Hello,
I am working on Nessus Vulnerability Scanner tool
[http://www.tenablesecurity.com/nessus/] as part of my Project. My task is to
identify important vulenrabilites from the massive report genereated by Nessus
and report only crucial ones. It wold be great if you an help me with this task.
If a network administrator scans a network of 100 computers using NESSUS3 tool
every day and gets a 1000 page report, then what might be the most interesting
thing for him to look in the report without wasting his time, as it would be
very difficult to go thru such a big massive report.?
Like for example, plug-ins with high risk factor, or, some new vulnerability,
or, some specific plug-ins?
If you are in the area of network security , u would realize what i am talking
about. If our server/network is expose to vulnerabilites, any smart attacker
can attack and hack weak applications and data. So Nessus gives us rough guess
when it scans network or hosts. We have to figure out correct ones depending on
the context of the environment/network under which scan took place.
if above functionality/task is implemented it could
tremendously reduce the volume of report and give out small report that a
netowrk admin then can look at and take appropriate actions hence reducing his
manual time to go thru report and increasing work efficiency.
Please let me know if you have nay suggestions and ideas to go
about it. i will really appreciate that .
