Hi, thank you for your prompt reply, Victor! Your reply to the second question about file upload from the client was especially interesting for me, as it showed me yet another feature of NessusWX which I had not discovered yet. However, I probably asked my question in a somewhat unclear way:
What I meant to ask was: How can I use the feature that NessusWX (or any other Nessus client, I guess) sends files configuration details (such as it does for Hydra) for my own plugins? A concrete example: I want to write a plugin such that - in the client there appears a configuration-field in which I fill in the name of a file residing on the client, say with login/password pairs - the plugin on the server has access to the contents of that file, e.g., to go threw the login/password pairs and try them out I guess my question is more of a NASL question than a NessusWX question.
