Is there anyone who is proficient with Tenable.sc and managed #Nessus scanners? I'm having a hellova time trying to figure out a glitch with plugins. No matter what I do, my scanner gets only the plugins from 12 May 2025. I've been laser-focused on troubleshooting this and I've run out of ideas. I've even rebuilt the scanner server with no change, leading me to believe it's something with Tenable.sc, and Tenable.sc has the latest plugin set. Help me Obi-won, you're my only hope. #Tenable

Also if you think about it, the majority of #tenable #nessus functionality is based on its ability to log into a remote machine, use the tools on that host (windows: regsitry calls, execute cmd.exe scripts or posh, unix: ssh in run commands built into the host to retrive whatever info it has), and then generate a report. #nmap has the modules libssh2-utility to log you in (check out ssh-run.nse) and smb capabilities (smb-psexec.nse) that allow you to run services commands and the like on Windows.

Why are people paying thousands in subscription fees ???!
