Print out of all nessus plugins with ID number and description

Would it be possible to dump out a list of all Nessus plugins showing id
number in column 1 and description in column 2?

Hi James,

Yes it is possible.

There is a '-p' option on the Nessus command line to dump out a list of plugins
from the remote Nessus scanner such as:

[root [at] kingghidor bin]# ./nessus -p 192.168.20.207 1241 <nessususer> <nessuspassword>

This dumps out everything about the description, family, name, .etc.

You'd need to do some text manipulation of the data to get it into the format you
are looking for.

I modified a script i use.

------------------BOF-------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
SERVER_IP='127.0.0.1'
SERVER_PORT='1241'
USR_NAME='pepe'
USR_PASS='pepe'
NESSUS_PATH=/opt/nessus
SEND_FILE=/root/test.plugin.log

$NESSUS_PATH/bin/nessus -qp $SERVER_IP $SERVER_PORT $USR_NAME
$USR_PASS > /root/nessus/plugins.txt

for x in $(cat /root/nessus/plugins.txt | awk 'BEGIN { FS ="|" } ;
{print $1}' | sort )
do
grep "$x" /root/nessus/plugins.txt | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "|" } ;
{ print "ID: " $1 " | Name: " $3 }' >> $SEND_FILE
done

less $SEND_FILE

------------------EOF-------------------------------
