Do users in the Nessus community anticipate that new plug-ins will be developed shortly to scan for vulnerabilities associated to the Veritas and Computer Associates backup products? Yesterday, the SANS group (www.sans.org) published a Q2 update of the newest vulnerabilities discovered in the last 3 months. The vulnerabilities for these two software products were referenced as being “critical”. SANS did not associate these vulnerabilities to an existing Top 20 category item, but the vulnerabilities would involve Windows and Unix systems.



Our group has used Nessus for a couple years to scan critical servers in relation to auditing at various locations. We have become proficient with use of the tool, but we do not at this time have the technical capability to write our scripts.
