The best way : - Use the CVS repository (http://www.nessus.org/cvs_manual.html), basically : export CVSROOT=":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvs" cvs login # <- password is 'anon' cvs -z3 co nessus-plugins - Then edit nessus-plugins/scripts to fix the mistakes - Then do cvs diff [name of modified plugins] in nessus-plugins/scripts/ and redirect the output to a file. ie: cd nessus-plugins/scripts/ cvs diff foo.nasl > patch # patch for the file "foo" only OR cvs diff foo.nasl bar.nasl > patch # patch for "foo" and "bar" OR cvs diff > patch # patch for every modified plugins -- Renaud
