Just to warn you that this list can get really big as Nessus and OpenVAS
have generators for certain scripts that fall into "Local Checks"
category. In short they obtain the advisories in some format, parse it
and then generate the plugin. For example every OV plugin listed is a
autogenerated local check I think.

Cheers,
Drazen.

Hi folks.  This output is from a neat new script David wrote--it
checks every day for new modules from Nmap, Metasploit, OpenVAS, and
Nessus and sends a report listing those new scripts.

Just because other projects write a certain script doesn't mean that
Nmap needs one too, but I still think it is worth "keeping an eye on
the competition".  They do have some good ideas from time to time :).
Those other projects might find this list useful as well to keep track
of what we're up to.

Cheers,
Fyodor
