querry regarding NASL scripting

[Priyaranjan Dash]

Hi, Does anybody know if there is a way in NASL by which we can get to know the version no of a linux OS running on the host. I think there must be some function in NASL that returns the details of the OS including the version no.   Similarly we want to test a network and find out if a particular patch is running on all the hosts. If the patch is not there in a� particular host , then it should show in the reports .is there a way to do it….??   Thanks/regards, priyaranjan
