Re: using nessus/nmap along with metasploit

[Robert Portvliet <robert.portvliet () gmail com>]

For nmap, just use the db_nmap command under Metasploit & it will
automatically import the results of the scans into the database.
(Assuming of course, that you have created the database beforehand)

In regards to using db_import_nessus_nbe, you specify the file, ex:
'db_import_nessus_nbe /root/docs/115_scan.nbe'

All of this can be found under the Information Gathering &
Vulnerability Scanning sections of
http://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/.


Cheers,
