Speaking of the Nessus XML Output, over the weekend I wrote an app to parse the xml file, and give a list of the alerts, list the text of the selected alert below, and pull downs for hosts, ids, and types. The pull downs for are filtering. Just check off anything on any the 3 pull downs, and all the records pertaining to that item will be filtered out of the list (check off as many things as you like).
Its written in c#/.net. I wrote it under Windows, but I'm fairly sure it would move to mono without much trouble. I'm happy to make the app and its source freely available (as long as doing so doesn't break anything I agreed to in the licensing agreement with Nessus). Its a little crude yet. It has a button for opening up the xml, but I haven't associated a good image with it yet, so I has some meanless default image. And it just deals with the alerts. It throws any general records. But I find it very very handy. Its really good for taking a big list, throwing out Notes. Gretting rid of any instance of alert id X (cause I know its bogus). etc. And getting me down to a list of issues I really need to address. While I'm happy to make it freely available, its unlikely that I'll make any enhancements to it beyond my own needs (time is really really tight these days).
