So, on to my next "make the scans cleaner" project. How would one deal with snmp coming back with something like: 9.1.1.13.0 = Hex-STRING: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 It's not a null, from near as I can tell... that is, isnull(var[1]) and isnull(string(var[1])) both are not true. doing a string(var[1]) gives: .......... it displays 10 periods which are not the ascii values (an artifact of the terminal perhaps?). I can get the length of the string (yay!) but am leery of just matching on a length (although, honestly, in this case, it's probably not gong to return any false negatives). How might one go about matching that? Forgive me, while I have a CS degree, my programming is kinda rusty (like 7 years since I was programming every day) and the documentation I can find is complete on what it covers, but I don't think it covers this :) Doug Nordwall Unix Administrator EMSL Computer and Network Support Unclassified Computer Security Phone: (509)372-6776; Fax: (509)376-0420 The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman. _______________________________________________ Plugins-writers mailing list Plugins-writers@private http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/plugins-writers
