The initial version of nmap+sV had a smaller database, and maybe it will become the "leading" version scanner. However I first want to see consistency in the database output, and I want to be sure that nobody using it against his internal LAN gets bad surprises, and given the current implementation I fear some people do. If the behavior of -sV happens to be tuneable in the future (safe_checks and no port assumption) and if it turns out that nmap is *WAY* better than find_services & all the *_detect.nasl plugins, then we'll probably add a better support for it. But my concern really is intrusiveness - I've had people having host crash because of a simple nmap -O, so I'm extremely careful about that, as usual. -- Renaud _______________________________________________ Plugins-writers mailing list Plugins-writers@private http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/plugins-writers
