Nessus can be used as a single scanner by using nasl command , nasl -t
'target' and 'path of the plugin'

but the major problem is that most of the nessus plugins are
dependent of other plugins.

Hi!
OK, I might try that. I just can't find an exploit that works for my
computers which is actually good, but I'd just like to exploit something!

Wrong list ;-) Nessus is a commercial product of Tenable. To run a single
NASL plugin against a host, you use the "nasl" command line interpreter.
At least, this is how it worked a couple years ago.

I'd like to know if there's any way to use only one of the Nessus
plugins against a specific host to, for example, crash the host or
execute arbitrary code? I'm just asking because Nessus found some holes
in my server and now I'd just like to exploit them and see if it
works... Thanks!
