Assistance reqd. URGENT !!!

Post #1 of 6 (2520 views)

Dear All
I am a student doing my project for a company as a part of my study
cirriculam. My work involves customizing Nessus to the company
requirements. Anyone please assist me in this regard .
Here are my following queries.
1) I am trying to change the Nessus Logo in the Credits section to
other logo, but i am unable to find that original image. I found the
pictures in xpm sub-folder , modified them ,and recomiled, but was
unable to see my modified logo in the Credits tab.
2) Has GTK been used to design the front-end of Nessus ? If yes, how
can i modify the GUI of nessus using GTK. If NO, which s/w was used to
create the GUI and how to use that, so that i can just drag and drop
widgets, and need not bother about making modifications in the code.
3) There is one file called network.xpm present in a hidden directory
in xpm folder. What file is that ? I was not able to open or edit it
using GIMP.
Also please give me your valuable comments / suggestions, which will
help me in modifying the code.
Thanks a lot in advance
Nithin
p.s- Your quick response in highly solicited

Unlikely as you will see below.

In essence you want to STEAL the credits to nessus and put in other
details.

It seems you are an experienced programmer. You work it out. After all if
you can click a bit on widgets you can master the world and take over any
PC you like.

Hugo.

PS: The answer is intentionaly rather harsh as the first question shows a
complete disregard of the nessus developers and changing credits is not
the way to make one very popular with the people doing the hard work.

Do not forget to tell everybody that it is a brand new software. If
somebody complains, just say that the code was so crappy that you
rewrote everything in a couple of days.

As far as I know, vi.
I agree with you, that's silly. Real men use Emacs.

I suggest that you get a life and/or find another job.

Oh no. You do not want _my_ quick response.

I'd hate to break it to you but any half decent security expert with
the proper tools can identify a vanilla nessus scan from a mile away.
Therefore the moment your company scans any other entity which has a
clue about information security, AND your company markets the nessus
scanner as THEIR technology and invention (something that seems to be
pretty common ethical hiccup nowadays), the client will be displeased,
to say the least, by the value added by your company.

Which company did you say you were working for?
