NSE, SSH and remote command execution

[Gary Madarm <gmadarm () gmail com>]

Hi,

I want to check which OS package versions are installed on remote Linux
hosts within my network. Some of the servers run ssh on non-standard ports,
thus I thought I could use nmap to find the ssh port and execute an NSE
script using io.popen() to run a dpkg command to enumerate the package
versions. Is this the best approach or is there a cleaner more native way
to execute remote system commands via an ssh tunnel in nmap?

thanks!
