Hello Users of the Nessus parser. I am sorry for not responding to questions or doing updates over the last 6 months or so. However I am back in the game now. In celebration of my new Job at Tenable Network Security (YES!!!!!!!) I have updated the Nessus Parser to v18.
parse_nessus_xml.v18
Here are the updates:
Bug Fixes
– Fixed the “-d” issue
– Host Config Data Severity Critical Issue
– Excel Slow or Failed to load due to word wrapping
New Features
– Added column for exploitable vulnerabilities…
– Added option “-o” if you want to change the filename prefix
– Added scan info tab, lists scan start and stop times and other info in Plugin 19506.
I know, I can’t believe it either but its finally here. The new version of the Nessus Parser. I have added 4 new features, they are:
1. Support for Severity 4 (Critical) findings.
2. Recasting severity levels.
3. New Tab for Windows Computers with SSID’s connected (Plugin ID 25197).
4. New Tab for Wireless Access Point Detection (Plugin ID 11026).
To use the recasting option, add the argument “-r file.txt”, where file.txt is a CSV file with 3 fields. PluginID,Current Severity, New Severity. Examples
51192,2,4
59448,3,1
62462,3,4
19506,0,4
The example command is:
perl /path/to/script/parse_nessus_xml.v16.pl -f /foo/bar/scan1.nessus -r /path/to/script/recast.txt
The other new features work by default.

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.
