That sounds promising. Combining similar things into a single script can be desirable, but I agree that smb-check-vulns maybe takes this consolidation too far. If split up, you might be able to keep smb-check-vulns for the vuln-check-specific actions. Or maybe it would be better to just deprecate smb-check-vulns as you say and just name all the offspring scripts separately. In terms of deciding whether to combine scripts or not, I suppose desirability from an end-user UI perspective should trump convenience and ease of implementation for us as script writers. After all, we already have numerous techniques (libraries, etc.) for sharing code between scripts, so we should be able to achieve both good UI and elegant and maintainable implementations. Cheers, Fyodor
Another option that might be easier than any is to make smb-check-vulns.nse into kind of a "meta plugin", where it doesn't do anything in and of itself, but depends on all the smb vuln scripts so they automatically run when you run smb-check-vulns. Of course, the issue with that is that dependencies don't work like that right now. :) Ron _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
