Greetings,
I've been trying to track down an issue we've been having for a while,
and I think I finally found the issue.
We are using the nessus.xsl file that's publicly available, and I think
a lot of people use, so I don't know if this has been brought up in the
past or not. However, when running a report through it, it's supposed
to display the Host Name, then the IP, however, it displays the Host
Name in both locations.
I've been combing through the XSL file for quite some time trying to
figure it out (I'm not an XSLT guy at all), and from what I can find,
it's all correct. So, I decided to look at the output of the XML file
that Nessus writes. Guess what, the Host Name and IP fields both
contain the Host Name. Here's a snippet (the names have been changed to
protect the innocent...):
<results>
<result>
<host name="host426.domain.com" ip="host426.domain.com"/>
<date>
<start>Fri Feb 1 14:15:10 2008</start>
<end>Fri Feb 1 14:16:19 2008</end>
</date>
<ports>
<...snip...>
Any way to get this resolved? This is kind of a big deal when running
large scans and providing information to other business areas.
Thanks...
