About:
NessusWC provides a simple HTTP Web interface to the Nessus Security Scanner. It connects to local or remote Nessus version 2 daemons via SSL (using OpenSSL libraries), retrieves the plugins, configures a scan for a single target host, and saves the results in HTML format. As a result, even users with limited security knowledge can scan their machines. Scan results are stored in a central place.

[»] NessusWC failure when plugin list reached 20000
by Frank4DD - Mar 5th 2008 05:21:42

It just happened that the Nessus plugin count went over 20000. No need to worry. Please adjust in nessuswc.h the parameter #define MAXPLUGS 20000 to, say 30000 and do a quick recompile.

The software package for download has been updated with 30000 already set.

When NessusWC started, we had over 3k plugins, now we have 10 times more. The more plugins we get, the longer it takes to download the plugin list from the server.

[»] Different compiling error
by acidchip - May 22nd 2006 07:39:33

There seems to be code missing in the tar file I downloaded.

cd src && make
gcc -O3 -Wall -I/home/include -I/home/openssl/include -c help.c
help.c:7:18: cgic.h: No such file or directory
help.c: In function `cgiMain':
help.c:23: error: `cgiOut' undeclared (first use in this function)
help.c:23: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
help.c:23: error: for each function it appears in.)
*** Error code 1

Is there a different version I should be trying?

[»] Re: Error While compiling
by Frank4DD - Mar 22nd 2005 07:15:55

Dear Ritesh,

There seems to be a problem with your OpenSSL installation. The compiler complains about a missing header file krb5.h (used for OpenSSL Kerberos 5 support). Although the Kerberos routines are not used in NessusWC, the compiler chokes on that missing file. You might have a incomplete OpenSSL development package installed or your installed OpenSSL version had been cut back.

Things you can do:
1. Check your current OpenSSL installation and run the 'openssl version' command
2. Check in your Linux distribution that the OpenSSL devel package is installed. Match the binary and devel versions by listing both packages and compare the version strings.
3. Make sure the compiler flags in nessuswc-xx/src/Makefile are pointing to the correct OpenSSL includes (although it works for you already through the standard include path)
4. Check for the missing krb5.h file (and possibly missing more OpenSSL header files)
or try:
5. Add the line
'#define OPENSSL_NO_KRB5' on top of nessuswc-xx/src/nessuswc.h

A new clean OpenSSL install, either by upgrade or new installation could help, to.

Please let me know at support[at]frank4dd.com if I can help you further and in more detail.

Frank

[»] Bug in "List of Scan Results" does not correctly display target IP 127.0.0.1
by Frank4DD - Feb 18th 2005 12:51:21

The scan result file itself has the correct IP, just the listing is incorrect.
