Re: NMap Scripts Vs Nessus

[Enis Sahin <enis.c.sahin () gmail com>]

One use I can think of for Nmap scripts is when pivoting with
Metasploit. It's not possible to use Nmap to scan farther networks
once you get a foothold inside a perimeter with a meterpreter shell
for now but if future versions of Metasploit support this feature you
could use Nmap for automated vulnerability scanning while pivoting.

You could do the same if you'd install Nessus on the compromised
machine but it could be simpler to upload Metasploit as a payload
(Nmap bundled) and use Nmap scripts for vulnerability inside the
perimeter. (Never tried it though and I would appreciate any feedback
if anybody attempted this attack)
