Has anybody started working on or are there any plans for debian plugins
(local checks via ssh)?


I wrote a patch to ssh_get_info.nasl to get the list of installed
packages (the easy part, not very useful without the hard part :) We need a tool to convert the advisories into NASL scripts and a NASL
library to compare the installed packages with the advisory.
Javier Fernandez was working on it, IIRC.

The tool is already there. It needs a few improvements that Renaud already suggested and should take only a few minutes to code in. What we really need is the equivalent of the rpm.inc (or freebsd_package.inc) for Debian. That is, the "library" that compares installed packages.


I've been quite busy with work & other stuff since I returned from vacation and I have not had time to work on that side, if anyone can volunteer that it would be great.

Regards

Javier
