Re: How to use Nessus 3.0.3 (Linux) with Nmap port scanning

One way of doing this (for those using the Nmap NASL), download the latest 
version from the Nessus website (http://www.nessus.org/documentation/), 
use Nessus to do the TCP scanning and change the Nmap preferences to only 
do a UDP scan.

I would love to write a full NASL but alas I don't have the time with my 
real job, girlfriend (yes, she's real) and the Inprotect project. It 
would be great if Nessus would take this feedback onboard and look at 
including it at a future point.

Cheers,

A.
