Nessus XML Output

Subject: Nessus XML Output

Speaking of the Nessus XML Output, over the weekend I wrote an app to 
parse the xml file, and give a list of the alerts, list the text of the 
selected alert below, and pull downs for hosts, ids, and types.  The 
pull downs for are filtering.  Just check off anything on any the 3 pull 
downs, and all the records pertaining to that item will be filtered out 
of the list (check off as many things as you like).

Its written in c#/.net.  I wrote it under Windows, but I'm fairly sure 
it would move to mono without much trouble.

I'm happy to make the app and its source freely available (as long as 
doing so doesn't break anything I agreed to in the licensing agreement 
with Nessus).

Its a little crude yet.  It has a button for opening up the xml, but I 
haven't associated a good image with it yet, so I has some meanless 
default image.  And it just deals with the alerts.  It throws any 
general records.  But I find it very very handy.  

Its really good for taking a big list, throwing out Notes.  Gretting rid 
of any instance of alert id X (cause I know its bogus).  etc.  And 
getting me down to a list of issues I really need to address.

While I'm happy to make it freely available, its unlikely that I'll make 
any enhancements to it beyond my own needs (time is really really tight 
these days).
