Submitted by: Anders Nordby <anders@fix.no> NASL is a scripting language designed for the Nessus security scanner. Its aim is to allow anyone to write a test for a given security hole in a few minutes, to allow people to share their tests without having to worry about their operating system, and to garantee everyone that a NASL script can not do anything nasty except performing a given security test against a given target. NASL is not a powerful scripting language. Its purpose is to make scripts that are security tests. So, do not expect to write a third generation web server in this language, nor a file conversion utility. Use perl, python or whatever scripting language to do this.
