Karl’s Nessus Parser Update
May 23rd, 2012
Hello Nessus Parser users, Karl from CyberCon Security Solutions in Ohio, made an update to Nessus Parser. I really appreciate this, as I am just crazy busy in my day job right now. I have not reviewed the code yet, but I wanted to get the script out to everyone who wanted the update, and give a shot out to Karl for his efforts.
Thanks Karl.

Could you please post the updated perl script again?
Where can we download the updated version?
Cody, where can I get the script with Karl’s updates?

Fantastic parser, thank-you.
Running into one small problem, when I try to parse a directory location of files, it says none of them are in v2 format, and just generates a blank workbook.
If I parse an individual file from that directory, it works fine.
Any Thoughts?
The only thing I can think of that would cause that is if there are files in the folder that are not nessus file or if the “.” and “..”. but I filtered out the “.” and “..”. I have not tried to run the script on Windows 7 so there might be something I am missing there. I would do this, run script in a debugger and look at line 151 “my @files = readdir(DIR);” Look at the “@files” array, and you will see all the files that are present, then follow the script as I remove the “.” and “..”, then you will see what is left. One of those files is causing the issue. Next month I plan on working on a much needed update, and I will test the new version on windows 7 then.
