Submitted by: Anders Nordby <anders@fix.no> NASL is a scripting language designed for the Nessus security scanner. Its aim is to allow anyone to write a test for a given security hole in a few minutes, to allow people to share their tests without having to worry about their operating system, and to garantee everyone that a NASL script can not do anything nasty except performing a given security test against a given target. NASL is not a powerful scripting language. Its purpose is to make scripts that are security tests. So, do not expect to write a third generation web server in this language, nor a file conversion utility. Use perl, python or whatever scripting language to do this.

NASL is a scripting language designed for the Nessus security scanner. Its
|
|
aim is to allow anyone to write a test for a given security hole in a few
|
|
minutes, to allow people to share their tests without having to worry
|
|
about their operating system, and to garantee everyone that a NASL script
|
|
can not do anything nasty except performing a given security test against
|
|
a given target. Thus, NASL allows you to easily forge IP packets, or to
|
|
send regular packets. It provides you some convenient functions that will
|
|
make the test of web and ftp server more easy to write. NASL
|
|
garantees you that a NASL script :
|
|
|
|
will not send any packet to a host other than the target host
|
|
will not execute any commands on your local system
|
|
|
|
NASL is not a powerful scripting language. Its purpose is to make scripts
|
|
that are security tests. So, do not expect to write a third generation web
|
|
server in this language, nor a file conversion utility. Use perl, python
|
|
or whatever scripting language to do this.
