Re: rpm scan

If you are not familiar with the .nessusrc scan policy format, the
easiest way to do this is to configure a scan with any of the available
Nessus GUI clients and then reuse that policy.

You also need to make sure you are performing the scan with the
appropriate credentials for the target. This is covered extensively in
the documentation which can be found here:

http://www.nessus.org/documentation/

and the specific credentials doc is:

http://www.nessus.org/documentation/nessus_credential_checks.pdf

If your business is requiring you to perform scans with Nessus, you
should consider obtaining commercial support or training for it:

Hi,

I have been using nessus to do normal scan using all the plugins so far using
nessus 3 on a RHEL 2.4. Its works fine so far. However now I am supposed to
do a rpm scan too. I heard nessus does an rpm scan. I would just like to know
what the command is on CLI. 

 

I have been regularly getting plugins and my scan normally uses all the
plugins, but I don't see the result for rmp scan. 

 

Can anyone help me in this?

 

Thanks in advance.
