I too am very interested in knowing more about how this new SSH based functionality works -- it looks really important for my work. The web page we're pointed to only talks about checking for patches and doesn't really give a rough sense of how that's done.
Would it be possible (say) to write a check that determines that /var/log/authlog is not properly protected? Does that involve nothing more than running an "ls -l" command on the remote machine and analyzing the output within a nasl script? I am curious too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Jacobson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sascha Schnitzler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On Thu, 8 Jul 2004, Sascha Schnitzler wrote: > > > I'm wondering how Plugins that check for a local vunlarability (e.g. the > > availability of a special patch, program etc) work remotely. > > It is a new feature in Nessus 2.1.0 (experimental).
