Thanks for replies about my "Running Nessus On Virtual Machine" question. I currently rely on running Linux Nessus from the command line (via cron) and specify a file containing target IP numbers. I also make use of NBE format output files. I have been taking a quick look at the Windows version of Nessus and reading what people say about it. Would I be correct in saying (despite its other nice features) that it is not easy or impossible to schedule the Windows version to scan a set of hosts and generate NBE format output i.e. it must be driven interactively by a user. -- Carl Nelson Distributed Systems Services, Computer Centre, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH, U.K. Tel: +44 (0)116 252 2060, Fax: +44 (0)116 252 5027 _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
