Hi all,
got a quick question.
I want to create a "sanity check" link on one of my web pages so that
when a user clicks on a link a nessus scan is performed of their ip
address and once finished a web page displays the results of the scan.
The idea is to generate an xml output file and use the nessus xslt
template ( or something like it) to produce the final display.
I' *think* I've figured out how to do most things from the nessus man
page, but it would be better if,rather than saving the output in a temp
file and then reading the file, I could redirect the nessus output to
stdout whoich i could then apply the xslt transformation to
Anyone know if you can do this sort of thing? the nessus client seems to
expect a mandatory output file argument.
You can probably do :
nessus -T xml -q localhost 1241 login pass targets -
And it *should* issue data to stdout.
