NAME
Parse::Nessus::XML - Interface to Nessus XML result files
SYNOPSIS
use Parse::Nessus::XML
my $scan = Parse::Nessus::XML->new( $filename );
my @results = $scan->results;
my $plugin = $scan->plugin(10964); # Parse::Nessus::XML::Plugin object
my $name = $plugin->name;
DESCRIPTION
Provides an interface to the Nessus XML report file. This is primarily
for my own use, so if it's missing stuff that you think should be in
here, send me a patch.
Please note that this API is just a suggestion, and is subject to change
in the first few releases. Because of how deeply nested the data
structure is, there's no particularly nice API to the whole thing - at
least that I can think of. See the example script in the example/
subdirectory to see how I use this in real life.
new
my $scan = Parse::Nessus::XML->new( $filename );
Given the path to a file, returns a Parse::Nessus::XML object.
results
my $results = $scan->results; # listref
my @results = $scan->results; # list
plugin
Returns a plugin object, given the ID. Then you can call for attributes
off of that object.
my $plugin = $scan->plugin(10964);
$name = $plugin->name;
$risk = $plugin->risk;
package Parse::Nessus::XML::Plugin
Supplementary package which facilitates figuring out what's in a
particular plugin. Also allows location of a plugin by ID number, which
speeds things up.
Parse::Nessus::XML::Plugin->new
my $plugin = Parse::Nessus::XML::Plugin->new( $scan, ID => 10964 );
my $risk = $plugin->risk;
Available attributes are: id, name, version, family, cve_id, bugtraq_id,
category, risk, summary, copyright
