Getting Data In

I developed an application to process Nessus data for Splunk

Hi everyone.  I am not sure the right place to post this, but I figured an introduction wasn't a bad place to start.

I just graduated from a local technical college with degrees in Web Development and CyberSecurity.  As a security intern with the college's technology services, I ended up using Splunk quite a bit.  However, I always gravitated more towards development and coding than the typical security work. So my supervisors came up with a development project that could benefit them and let me develop something as my final project.

The result was TenaPull, a Java application that processes data from the Nessus API and outputs it into JSON files that can be ingested by a Splunk index.

(It's my understanding that there used to be a Python 2 script which did this, but the script was deprecated and no longer works.  I did briefly examine the script when I started, but didn't dig very deep into it)

I am interested in hearing about your experience with it, and any issues or problems you may have encountered using it.  I am definitely open to making changes and improvements if there is a demand for that.

Also, if there is a better place to post this information, please let me know as well!  I'd love to see more people using TenaPull
