Hi Cezar, Make sure you are using the latest nmap.nasl:
http://static.tenable.com/documentation/nmap.nasl Some folks tested with the latest version of Nmap and it appears to be working. Also, check out this blog post: http://blog.tenablesecurity.com/2009/05/using-nmap-results-with-nessus-batch-scanning.html That post is a bit dated, but speaks to some of the issues and things you need to do to make this work correctly, essentially: - Disable all of the port scanners and host detection in Nessus - In the “Plugins” tab, make sure the “Port Scanners” plugin family, and all associated plugins, are enabled - Import the results into Nessus by going to the Preferences tab and choosing Nmap (XML file importer). - Once scan completes, review results (I create a filter: Filter: “Plugin Name”, “Contains”, “nmap”).
