Nmap Development: Re: output question/suggestion

There is a tool called nmap2html. Now I know this isnt what your looking for, but perhaps you
could use that code to push it to an excel spreadsheet like you wanted? Also, NESSUS has improved
their reports, you could use NESSUS to scan the ports and give that to managment. Their reports
can be text reports, easily exportable to excel. And NESSUS uses nmap for the scanning.

just 2 thoughts.
