attack ID's in nessusdmessages?
|
|
Hi,
for some bookkeeping reason I'd like to know which attacks where
actually launched. Currently I'm parsing nessusd.messages for this
purpose. Is there a better solution for this?
Parsing nessusd.messages is also difficult because it only contains the
plugin names but not the plugin ID's. I patched nessusd locally to
include the ID's in the output. Any chance to include something like
this in the next release?
