[UPDATE Feb 24th 2018: tenable disabled the API to execute remote scan since version 7 so keep in mind that if you use nessus>7 this won’t work]

Metasploit is my favorite tool while I do Pen Test and Secuirty Checks. I use also Nessus for Vulnerability Assessment and integrate Nessus and Metasploit is a must.
