[nycbug-talk] Scripting Question

[Kevin Reiter]

Sorry for the top post, but Outlook sucks (I have no choice here at work...)

Thanks to everyone that provided auggestions on this.  I'm almost done with this monster, and sofar, everything is working perfectly.  Here's a snippet that did the trick (and what I'm doing):

# Get a full list of ports in 1 file.  Since there's a full subnet
# worth of files, put it in a temp location:
mkdir temp
cp $nmaplog/*.nmap temp/
cd temp/
cat ./*.nmap >> nessus_temp
cat nessus_temp | grep open | cut -f -d\/ > ports.tmp

# Then convert it into 1 line:
cat ports.tmp |sort -n|uniq|xargs|sed 's/ /,/g' > ports.list

mv ports.list ..
cd ..

# Delete the temp directory:
rm -rf ./temp

# Work some magik:
ports=`cat ports.list`
temp="port_range = $ports"

# Rewrite the nessusrc with the ports we want to scan:
sed -e "s/port_range =/$temp/" $nessusfile > nessus.tmp
mv nessus.tmp $nessusfile

sort -u.

or if you want line counts, something like:

sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
