Hi Ron,
Thank you very much for your detailed answer.
I know that the Nessus scanner is one of the or maybe THE best scanner with a
very competitive price.
Tenable Security Center is cheaper than other comparable solutions of
competitors, nevertheless the price is still to high to manage 128 hosts,
because the price is more interesting for 500 @IP or more (hi Erin ;-))
Do I dare to give a wish list, although I do not know if it is the right place
? I will dare but please tell me if another place is more suitable, and if the
2 following wishes are acceptable, and a very gross "ETA" if possible (one
month, several months, never, ...).
* First wish
In the version 2 XML report of Nessus 3.0.x (I hope x=7): add the name of the
plugin.
[in the .nessus report of Nessus 3.2, there is "PluginID" and "PluginName", in
the .xml report of Nessus 3.0.6, there is only "id"].
It would be great to have the plugin name in the report.
But maybe the NessusClient 3.0.6 will never evolve.
* Secund wish
With NessusClient 3.2.y (I hope y=2), be able (directly or via XSLT) to
generate an HTML report like that:
Summary part:
host1: 1 hole 5 warnings 10 notes 10 open ports
host2: 2 holes 15 warnings 30 notes 12 open ports
host3: 0 hole 1 warning 5 notes 2 open ports
Detailed part:
List of holes of host 1:
...
List of holes of host 2
...
...
List of holes of host 3
List of warnings of host 1
List of warnings of host 2
List of warnings of host 3
List of notes of host 1
List of notes of host 2
List of notes of host 3
The current report with NessusClient 3.2.1 is:
List of hosts:
host1: High severity probleme(s) found
host2: High severity probleme(s) found
host3: Medium severity probleme(s) found
Host1
summary for host1
all problems for host1
Host2
summary for host2
all problems for host2
Host2
summary for host3
all problems for host3
The goal of the secund wish is:
- for the summary part: to have directly the numbers of problems for each kind
(high/medium/low) + the number of open ports.
- for the detailed part: to have first the high severity problems, that must be
solved first, then after the medium, and finally the low.
Best regards.
Philippe.
