Parsing Nmap Results?

Subject: Parsing Nmap Results?
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 21:04:43 -0700 (MST)

I was casually grepping through the 2.2.4 source code, looking for what piece of code handles reading/parsing the Nmap "grepable" file (when passing external Nmap results to Nessus via the "File containing grepable results" option). It appears that nmap.nasl is the only piece of code which handles this function.


Questions: Is the above correct? If I have nmap.nasl (#14259) disabled in the .nessusrc file (so it does not port scan again), then what handles parsing the external Nmap results?

I thought maybe Nessus would still call nmap.nasl to parse the results, but I am not seeing anything about launching nmap.nasl in the nessusd.messages log.

So, can anyone give me some specific details about how this is handled? Thanks!
