Hello everyone. As a penetration tester, I'd like to say that vulnerability scanning would be a _very_ useful feature in Nmap. I do need the functionality provided by vulscan script even though I do have expensive licenses for well regarded vulnerability scanners. Would vulscan be packaged with Nmap at some point? 2011/12/8 Djalal Harouni <tixxdz () opendz org>

I'd appreciate any feedback.The script was not integrated into Nmap, I think the problem was the vulnerability database [1], if we are allowed to use it or not ? Now Nmap and NSE support CPE and there is also an NSE vulnerability library [2] which scripts like this can use to organize and report data, so I think that Nmap needs a script like this. I was planning to work on it, but currently I can't (no time). I've Cc'ed Marc so he can update us. Thanks.
