Script Management
Click the Script Management tab for management and testing of installed NASL scripts.
NASL is the part of the Nessus vulnerability scanner that performs the majority of the
vulnerability checks.
By default, newly uploaded scripts will appear here but will not be available for use with a
policy enforcement group. To make a script available, it is necessary to either manually
enable it or to fully validate it.
To validate a script for use within policy enforcement it is advisable to execute the script
against both a host vulnerable to and a host invulnerable to security vulnerability being
checked for. The table of scripts provides two buttons for this purpose. The table also
contains two check boxes indicating if the two tests have been successfully executed for
each script.
In the Test target host field, enter the host you intend to test the selected NASL script
against. This host is specified either as a hostname or as an IP address.
In the Execution Timeout (seconds) field, enter how long before we give up on the test
returning a concrete result. You will typically not need to modify this away from the
default setting of 300 seconds.
Script Upload
