What do you want to do ? hide nessusd from the network (ie: nobody can
connect to it remotely), or prevent nessusd from revealing its IP
address at all during the tests ? (which is impossible).
If it's just the first, you can do
nessusd -a 127.0.0.1
If it's the second, well, you mix nessusd with a sniffer...
