I am using nessus 2.2.4 on SuSE 9.3. Usually I run nessus on the same machine.
Unfortuntely I tried now the nessuswx client version 1.4.5 instead of the linux
nessus client because I read in the German version of the Syngress book "Nessus
Security Scans" that the windows client would have some advantages.
So I run a vwery time consuming (but legal!) big scan on a big subnet. nessuswx
saved the results in a big binary data file of 8.5 MB size called "results"
located in a subdirectory of my nessuswx-Installation on my windows workstation:
c:\nessuswx\nessusdb\20050722-114135.session\22 Jul 2005[12@28@06].run\results
The scan run properly and I could see the progress.
Now after this weekend, after completion of the scan, I tried to view the
report.
But I got lots of warnings
"Invalid NSR record - ignored"
and the report is empty when I try to convert it to pdf or txt.
On the other hand- the output of
"strings results" on my linux machine
shows me that the scan succeded and produced lots of correct output in the file
"results".
Is there a bug in nessuswx or where is my failure?
How can I convert my original output file into a readable format?
I want to avoid repeating the test with the nessus linux client because it is
very time consuming...
Thanks a lot for your anwers!
Bernhard
