Built-In Checks

The checks that could not be covered by the checks described above are required to be written as custom names in NASL. All such checks fall under the “built-in” category. Each check starts with a <item> tag and ends with </item>. Enclosed within the tags are lists of one or more keywords that are interpreted by the compliance check parser to perform the checks. The following is a list of available checks.

Note: The system keyword is not available for the built-in checks and will result in a syntax error if used.
