NVT Lookup by OID

(replace 61039 by any other old-style ID)

OpenVAS Layout for OIDs

Note: The support of the OID scheme arrives with OpenVAS 2.0. To stay compatible with OpenVAS 1.0, it is recommended to apply the old ID scheme as described below.

Note also: The refinements of the OID scheme are still in progress. Please contact the OpenVAS development team for questions and especially in case you like to apply OIDs. 

1.3.6.1.4.1.25623 (iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.OpenVAS): Base OID
|
+--.1 (.NVT): OpenVAS Network Vulnerability Tests
|  |
|  +--.0 (.Legacy): Legacy method to incorporate old IDs into new OID layout
|  |  |
|  |  +--.NNNN: old ID as defined via script_id()
|  |
|  +--.1 (.Contrib): NVTs contributed by third parties
|  |  |
|  |  +--.1 (Contributor 1)
|  |  |  |
|  |  |  +--.NNNN (enumeration under responsibility of contributor)

|  |
|  +--... (next families)
|
+--... (other things of OpenVAS project that need a unique ID)

Layout for old Nessus-style ID

The old IDs are integer values. They are assigned via the NASL command script_id(). It is possible to concurrently define a OID (via script_oid()). In case no OID is defined, a legacy OID is assembled based on the old ID.
