While there have been several instances in the archives of people having
trouble with batch mode, I don't find any bug reports about it. Why
don't you submit one using ?

Does this also occur if you just use nmap to scan your targets? Is there
any chance one of the targets is acting as a tarpit?

What exactly do you mean by "all available scan options"? Which port
scanners are selected? Also, what port range are you scanning?

And when you say it doesn't scan another machine's IP, do you mean
nessus doesn't launch any other plugins because it considers the host(s)
dead?

Hi,

I am unable to get plugin 11268 using nessus-update-plugins. The source
is not even accessible on line:

http://cgi.nessus.org/plugins/dump.php3?id=11268

Can anyone help?

Rgds.
Martin

Dear:

I have two Questions, please help me :

1. How can I run Nessus to scan a fixed range of IPs in schedule?
2. Can I only scan a particular vulnerability like "MS01-020" , how ?

That's because it has been removed from distribution; see

http://cvsweb.nessus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/nessus-plugins/plugins/nmap_osfingerprint/Attic/CHANGELOG

In its place, use os_fingerprint.nasl (#11936).

Launch the unix-based nessus client from cron; eg,

30 6 * * * nessus -c /home/me/.nessusrc localhost 1241 me nopass \
/home/me/targets /home/me/results.nbe

> 2. Can I only scan a particular vulnerability like "MS01-020" , how ?

Your best option is to use one of the update-nessusrc scripts to
maintain a separate config file that scans for just that vulnerability
and run that before each scan (or at least after you update your nessus
plugins); eg, assuming you have tuned your nessus config file to your
tastes, run this once:

cp ~/.nessusrc ~/.nessusrc-bugbear

and then run this before your scans:

update-nessusrc -i 11135 -c "" -f "" -r "" ~/.nessusrc-bugbear

Also, make sure you have auto_enable_dependencies set to "yes" in the
config file so any dependencies the selected plugin has will also be
run.
