Hi there I am starting to use nessus via cronjobs, so what I do is use the GUI to set the rules I want, rename .nessusrc to .nessus-this-will-do-particular-tests and use that.
It works well, but one thing I notice is the GUI doesn't allow you to change the ordering of rules - something that would help when trying to enable new rules. e.g. I have a test to scan for the DCOM exploit. I see that in the past week new SMB rules have been released, so I load my current .nessus-check-for-DCOM-vuln ruleset, and want to add the new tests. I have to go through the whole lot line by line until I find the one I'm after (filter doesn't work properly BTW - once you've filtered, it looks as if you've lost all your previous settings!). Being able to sort by description would allow all the ones beginning with "Microsoft" to show up together, etc. Possible? Thanks - keep up the good work - Nessus rocks :-) -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
