Re: Auto Searching Nessus Plugins

[Paul Asadoorian <paul () pauldotcom com>]

Two suggestions:

1) You can pull the plugin data from Tenable's RSS feed:
http://www.nessus.org/rss-plugins.xml

2) You can potentially use the API and query the Nessus server for
plugins using XMLRPC.

Good luck! And feel free to hit me up with more questions :)

Cheers,
Paul
