How nmap2nessus works:
Takes a nmap XML file as input and extracts the 'open' ports and live IP addresses.
Logins into Nessus server and makes a copy of the 'selected' policy.
Modifies the port_range parameter in the policy settings and upload the new policy
Uses the 'default' Nessus policy.
Starts a new Nessus scan using the new policy.
Queries the Nessus server for the status of the job until the job is completed.
Save the Nessus report and extract the important findings
