Hi List, I am running nessus v3.2.0 on Windows XP.
For my private testing, I would like to modify some nasl scripts (and later write my own). To start with, I modified a script (sql_injection.nasl). The only change i did was change a string in the report message. For this I just edited the file and changed it. The problem is that when I run the nessus client and the sql_injection succeeds, I still get the old message and not the new one which I put in. I have tried restarting the client and server and also rebooting my Windows XP machine. Even after that, the changes are not applied. It makes me wonder if I need to do any thing else before nessus recognizes the modifications. Does it use the cached code of the nasl script from somewhere which I need to flush? Do I have to modify any xml or compile something before the changes take effect? If I am not modifying the name of the nasl script file I guess plugins.xml etc does not need to be changed ? I also tried writing my own nasl script with a new id etc, and put it in the plugins/scripts directory but it does not show up in the nessus client. I have tried searching the archives and the web but most of the advice is for *nix, I cant find much for windows. Any pointers are much appreciated, Shavian.
