There are quite a number of local security checks, primarily for Linux distributions and for Windows. They mostly work by using ssh (Linux) or smb (Windows) to retrieve information from the target. An existing account on the target is of course necessary for this. There is some information on LSCs on the website and in the compendium. A number of people are writting LSCs already, so the openvas-plugins list or IRC are a good place to ask. And if you have any suggestions as to how the documentation for LSCs could be improved ... well, you know what to do. :) Regards, Michael -- Michael Wiegand | OpenPGP: D7D049EC | Intevation GmbH - www.intevation.de Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück, Germany | AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
