Nicolas,
Nessus identifies if the remote host is running under VMWare with
vmware_detect.nasl.
Hm, you're right. There also exists a plugin to identify a vmware-server.

vmware_detect.nasl relies primarly on the MAC adress, but the list seems
not to be complete for not discovering my VMware :)
vmware_server_detect.nasl checks the banner of the VMware remote-console
but also failed to identify my server. Hopefully I got time to write a
fix during my holidays.

Cheers,

Toby


We've blogged about this in the past:

The plugin requires either a MAC address (from a local ping) or a
credentialed OS check.
