Thats what the no404.nasl plugin supposed to do, we use a greatly modified version which also checks for things like common page titles and body tags, along with a signature array of error strings to match. It is relatively easy to extend and the <title>/<body> checks take care of the what the signatures don't. The plugin is question was posted to the list a while back, we have some minor mods to it since. -HD - [EMAIL PROTECTED]: general discussions about Nessus. * To unsubscribe, send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe nessus" in the body.
