list
()¶ List of available policies, policy settings and the default values that would be used when creating a new Nessus scan.
The list of default values are the values that will be used during a scan if they are not supplied by the user in the policy (taken from nessusd.rules).
For example, you could save a policy with only one item in it (e.g.,
max_checks = 42
) and the rest of the settings used for the scan would be what is returned inlist()
. Custom policies that are returned only include enabled plugins (i.e., disabled plugins will not be returned).Permissions:
- authenticated: Yes
- administrator: No
Example:
>>> from nessus import API >>> nessus = API('https://127.0.0.1:8834', username='user', password='pass') >>> print nessus.policy.list() [ { "policyname": "Internal Network Scan", "policycontents": { "individualpluginselection": { "pluginitem": [ { "status": "enabled", "pluginid": "34220", "pluginname": "Netstat Portscanner (WMI)", "family": "Port scanners" }, (...)
