Mailing List Archive: Reporting File Versions

All,

I am a novice as they come with writing NASLs, though I know programming in
general. I'm attempting to write a NASL script that would retrieve a file
version and return that version for reporting (i.e. security_note). Could
someone point me in the right direction?
To be more precise, I'm trying to do something like this.

local_var file, version, path;
file = "ping.exe";
path = "\system32";
version = call_some_function (file:file, path:path);
security_note(data: string ("The file (",file,") has a version of ",
version));

Thanks for your help!

There is a Tenable licensed function (i.e. not in the GPL feed) called
GetFileVersion that is in smb_func.inc that might help you. Take a look at
realplayer_detect.nasl for example on usage.
