Hi,

I'm digging through the source for nessus-core and libnessus for a the
last few days, trying to find where exactly the plugins indicate when
they've been successful against a target. Thanks to Javier Fernandez, I
now know that that information can be found in the knowledgebase, if KB
saving is enabled. I'm interested in the plugin id, the success/failure
info, and the port/protocol the plugin is applicable to, and I need to
be able to identify where in the source this information is available.
In other words, I need to find the specific place(s) in the source code
where the plugins set their success value against a host (IP Address)
and port/protocol on that host. And this with or withoout the KB saving
feature being enabled. 

Alternatively, is it possible to obtain the port/protocol information
once I have the plugin id from inside attack_host() in attack.c?

Obviously, the nessus client obtains this information in some manner.
But I don't have any GTK experience to be able to dig out how that
works, so I haven't paid too much attention to the client. 

I was hoping some among you might already have the info and may be able
to help me.

Thanks in advance,

-- Hasnain
