Re: nasl script modifications not working

Thanks! That worked! I would never have guessed it was build.exe

I do see the modifications in the nasl file take effect now.

But if I write my own nasl file and then run build.exe, it does not show up
in the nessus client,  I do see that build.exe exits with one more plugin
installed than the last time (it prints the number of plugins installed on
the console after finishing its run), so it did compile my new plugin I
guess. Yet, it does not show up in the Nessus client GUI.

I also see my new nasl script entry in the plugins.xml file. Any other step
that I am missing for this (on Windows) ?

Thanks!

Hi List,

I am running nessus v3.2.0 on Windows XP.

For my private testing, I would like to modify some nasl scripts
(and later write my own).

To start with, I modified a script (sql_injection.nasl). The only
change i did was change a string in the report message. For this I
just edited the file and changed it.

The problem is that when I run the nessus client and the
sql_injection succeeds, I still get the old message and not the new
one which I put in.


Yes, on Windows you need to run build.exe which will re-process the
nasl files and include your changes.
