ïHi all,
This could have been posted before, but I have not been able to follow
all the posts.
This is my current setup:
# /opt/nessus/bin/nessus -v
nessus (Nessus) 3.2.0 for Linux
(C) 1998 - 2008 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
SSL used for client - server communication
Running the command:
# /opt/nessus/bin/nessus -q localhost 1241 user password /targets.txt -T
"html_graph" .
I get the following response:
'html_graph' is not a valid report type
It works 100% with the switch -T "html"
I make use of the back-end as Nessus is installed on Linux with no X or
GUI:
And the server is behind a firewall at the branch, with no option to
open the ports
CentOS release 4.3 (Final)
Linux 2.6.9-34.EL
But on the flip side, I manage to connect to the Nessus server from my
Linux desktop via a tunnel:
ssh -L 2482:<Nessus IP>:1241 root@<firewall IP>
I did try it, then connecting from my client to localhost on port 1241,
it does the scan, as I can see the processes running on the Nessus
server.
But, the report does not look remotely the same as the back-end scan.
For example, with the client scan via the tunnel, one machine will show
maybe 2 or 3 warnings.
The report from the back-end scan will show maybe 10 warnings for that
same machine as well as critical problems.
Questions are, can the back-end scan support "html_graph" ?
Can a client scan via a tunnel be effective with true results?
Or is there something wrong with my tunnel or setup?
Thank you
