Plugin rating and ping remote host

Subject: Plugin rating and ping remote host
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 11:01:45 +0100
Hi list,
well, I'm trying to setup an automated nessus system with the command line client connecting to localhost and triggered by a cronjob. For this I created my own bash scripts, one for the scan the other to update .nessusrc. Now I'd like to know what ratings belong to a "All but harmful" scan. You know the infos, mixed, attack, etc. things you get when launching "nessus -p ..."
Btw what happened to the "Links to other resources" page you had on the old website. I remember there was a link to a perl script doing just what I want but I can't find it anymore.


Last thing just to get it right: Is ist correct that the "Ping remote host" scan option doesn't have any impact anymore. They way I understood it is that in former versions you could let Nmap ping or not (under prefs) and beside that you had the option to TCP/ICMP ping separately. So in my setups I could enable the "Ping the remote host" option and disable the nmap ping and it would still find all hosts not answering to pings. But now I have to disable TCP/ICMP pingin under Prefs to to find all hosts and the nampa option disappeared. Am I getting this right?
