RE: joining nbe files together

Doug,

 

Depends what you want to use it for.  If you're planning to combine the
nbe files and then use NessusClient to convert to a report format (e.g.,
-i file.nbe -o file.html), you might be very surprised at how forgiving
NessusClient is.  In a nutshell, you can just cat everything together
into one file.

 

If you're feeding the combined file into something that expects a
law-abiding NBE file, then you might have to strip out duplicate
"scan_start" and "scan_end" records and mess around with the datestamps
on the remaining "scan_start" and "scan_end." 

 

John

Subject: joining nbe files together

 

I have a whole mess of nbes for individual machines. Anyone know of a
script or a simple mechanism to join them all together? I am pretty sure
that cat will not work without some massaging at least.
