NVT Lookup by OID

(replace 61039 by any other old-style ID)

OpenVAS Layout for OIDs

Note: The support of the OID scheme was introduced in OpenVAS 2.0. To stay compatible with OpenVAS 1.0 installations, 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 contributors)
|  |
|  +--.2 (.lib): Supporting scripts, usually suffixed .inc and proving some API
|  |  |
|  |  +--...
|  |
|  +--.3 (.DSA-LVT): Family of Local Vulnerability Checks for Debian Security Alerts
|  |  |
|  |  +--1157.1: Implementation for DSA 1157, Version 1 of the script (example)
|  |
|  +--... (next families)
|
+--.2 (.OVAL): OVAL scripts
|
+--... (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(). Starting from openvas-server 2.0.0, OpenVAS uses OIDs exclusively and the script_id() command will automatically set the correct legacy OID by applying the prefix 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0. to any ID.
