merging two nessus reports

[chris.bentley at sky.com (Christopher Bentley)]

I'd pull the reports into Excel then remove the duplicates,
Use the spreadsheet already provided at the following link. Just import the
dotnessus file go to the next line then import the next dotnessus file.

It makes pulling reports together quite quick then you can use pivot tables
to group and change the data or make pretty charts(Everyone like looking and
pretty charts).

I tend to create a top N hosts sheet giving a rundown on which hosts have
the most issues and separate sheets for various software families.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] merging two nessus reports

Hi
A client has done two overlapping scans with Nessus and wants to merge
them to create a single html report without the overlap. The results
in the overlap are the same so all that will need to happen is to
remove the duplicated hosts then merge the two scans/reports.

I could write a script to parse the XML and do this but I was
wondering if there was a better way to do it before I put the effort
in.
