[Openvas-discuss] Ideas and wishes for future improvements of OpenVAS

[Kenneth Ng]

- Plugin severity override: some places value some vulnerabilities
more than others.  For example: some places rank anonymous CIFS
connections as vital to their business.  Others say its a big risk.
Having a front end to override the degree instead of patching the
plugin would be nice.
- An option to say: "do not add new plugins to the .nessusrc file".
Or maybe, add all new ones as "no".  Sometimes I want to run a given
set of plugins periodically.  I don't want all new ones to also get
run.
- Ability to do a "diff" between two scan results.
- database option for the results.
