* build a list of "live" systems "outside" of Nessus either using:
      - Nmap (in ARP scan mode)
      - ping sweep and noting down which IP addresses are available
      in the ARP cache (note that if the hosts are on your local
      subnet you can determine they are alive since you should see
      the answers to ARP queries)

Something like:
nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 -oG - | fgrep "Status: Up"  | 
awk '{print $2}' > /tmp/live_hosts
