Patrice, In my case, there is no nessus folder in /opt


However, is does seem to use the users I have set up? Any ideas on alternate
locations?



[EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit :

 I installed nessus on Ubuntu and then added users (nessus-adduser).



 Where is this information stored?



 I'm using the command line interface and am concerned about how it

 uses plain text:



 nessus -V -q 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> 1241 user plaintextpassword

 targetsfile outputfile



1- The information is stored in /opt/nessus/var/nessus/users/"name_of_user"

2- what do you mean about "plain text" ?

     The CLI uses, with the -c option, a .nessusrc file that can be

generated by NessusClient.

     If there is no -c option, it create or uses the .nessusrc file,

where you can check the options/plugins used.

     All these files are "plain text".


Cordialement / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards,
