Hi,
 
For the plugins to check vulnerabilities, is there any algorithm/mechanism behind? For example, I saw some of the plugins dealing with HTTP server would have httpver.nasl and http_login.nasl as the dependencies. Does this like a mechanism for checking HTTP server, which run few specific scripts at the beginning? How about the others? I would like to know about the mechanism that dealing with web server, os identification, patches, and service identification.
 
 
Thanks for your helps,
Kevin
