What does everyone think of me putting up a page on linux.nf that anyone can
come to and have their system scanned for known security exploits? I'm
thinking the user would surf over to say http://linux.nf/scanme/ and the page
would display a quick little disclaimer stating what it's going to do, that
you should be the owener of the machine being scanned, and that by clicking
the 'scan me' button you agree to release us from liability... when they
click the button, it launches a Nessus scan, puts up a 'please wait while you
are scanned' page, and then when the nessus scan completes, it pops up a page
with the results of the scan. of course, it would scan the ip of the machine
viewing the page so that the user couldn't put in somebody else's ip (I know,
i know... this wouldn't work for machines behind a proxy)..
thoughts?
