Package: python-libnessus
python-libnessus ==============Code statusStill in dev...Aboutlibnessue is a python library to manipulate nessus process and data.libnessus is what you were looking for if you need to implement the
following: - manipulate nessus scans results to do reporting - compare
and diff nessus scans - store nessus scans in a datastore (mongo and
Elasticsearch supported)In the future we might implement something to discuss with nessus API -
automate or schedule nessus scans on a regular basis - batch process
scan reportsInstallDependencies : You might need jsonpickle,elasticsearch,pymongo if you
want to use the backend pluginsYou can install libnmap via pip:pip install python-libnessusor via git:$ git clone https://github.com/bmx0r/python-libnessus.git
