Hi,

I am trying to convince nessus to perform all (or at least most) of the
tests despite the dead host detection. The test usually involve test
against a firewalled environment so I know dead host detection is nearly
impossible to perform.

I have been digging into the knowledgebase and disabled various tests like
ping_host.nasl (10180) but it still does not test as much as I would like.

Is there a way to perform a full analyses with just nessus?

If not is there a way of running nmap first and feed the output
automagically to Nessus?

Hi Hugo,

Did you try configuring:
Nmap (NASL wrapper)[file]:File containing grepable results : =
in your nessusrc configuration file?
You can also run nmap and save the output into a file with -oG, parse
that file to contain only IPs and then use that as your targets file.

After all I do not like to stay in the office
untill 21:00 just to start up some test when you have cron jobs.

BTW: The nessus scanner runs headless so it's all done through config
files and scripts.

Hugo.
