Thanks Martin. I added it in my own way, but using your diff and your other emails as a very useful source.
synching with my paperback version, but it seems a bit outdated now...
Yeah, we've made so many changes to NSE that it is probably best to compare with the online version (http://nmap.org/book/nse.html) as that is kept updated.
I don't really know how to, syntactically, define that a plus sign is optional:
To simplify things, I left '+' off the syntax and also removed the "all" option. They are still described in the description though for advanced users. I'm glad the feature has made it's way into the repository! Thanks for working with us to make so many changes. There are two issues I'm curious about now: o I'm assuming that --force will currently run even against closed and filtered ports. Do you think we should make an exception for those, and run the script only if the portrule returns true OR the port is open or open|filtered? o I added a usage example in the chapter based on your description of having a list of ms-sql servers, some of which may be on unusual ports. If you think there is a better prime example for this capability, let me know. o I'm assuming this script works for prerules, portrules, hostrules, and postrules. My initial thought is that we ought to leave it like that and users should be careful to only force scripts where it makes sense. But if we think it never makes sense to force a prerule or postrule script, we could remove that capability.
