According to the Nessus 3.2 news release (http://www.nessus.org/ news/) one of the new features is "Granular access to control rules to limit users to specific ports and audits". Does anyone know how to do this?

There are syntax examples in /opt/nessus/etc/nessus/nessusd.rules. You can write these rules there (restrict things on a global nessusd basis) or in /opt/nessus/var/nessus/users/auth/rules (same syntax, for a per-user basis).


Basically you can write :

Global networks/host denies :

reject 192.168.2.0/24

Reject a given port on a given network :

reject 192.168.2.0/24:9100

You can reject a port range too :

reject 192.168.2.0/24:1-1024

And you can also forbid the use of some plugins :

plugin-reject 10330
plugin-reject 10000-11000
