OpenVAS plans to integrate NSE support

["Jan-Oliver Wagner" <Jan-Oliver.Wagner () greenbone net>]

Hello,

as you might now, the OpenVAS (www.openvas.org) framework
uses Nmap a lot and plans even tighter integrations.

The seamless integration of NSE's into the OpenVAS NVT Feed
is now a Change Request in discussion:
  http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-44.html

This seamless integration works already for ovaldi to run OVAL scripts.

However, for a very nice integration it might be helpful
to extend the concept of NSE's. What comes to my mind first
is that a NSE should formally describes its input parameter - thus
allowing OpenVAS to automatically offer respective preference
dialogs to the user.
These are not urgent matters but if anyone here is interested
in the topic: the OpenVAS developers are open and happy
to coordinate/help :-)

All the best

        Jan
