This is quite accomplishable. What you need to do is create a config file (.nessusrc) for each scan. You also will need one file that contains a list of hosts you want to scan. In the config file, you will define all the preferences, scans, and plugins that you want to use for this attack. The target file can contain single IPs, ranges of IPs, CIDR IPs, and i think even hostnames, though I dont use it that way. So to scan a bunch of windows hosts: Config file - windows_scan target file - windows_hosts nessus command: nessus -c windows_scan -q nessusd_host nessusd_port nessus_user password windows_hosts output.nbe For help with the config file check http://www.edgeos.com/nessuskb/ they have great info on the config file settings.
