A. You can have the NASL interpreter load the Knowledge Base (KB) for a specific host with the “-k” option. For example, you could test for the First4Internet CodeSupport ActiveX control by running: nasl -k /opt/nessus/var/nessus//kbs/ \ -t codesupport_activex_code_exec.nasl Note: this requires that you have access to the KB and that the KB has already been populated by any Plugin dependencies. Tenable has an extensive blog post on the usage of the NASL command line tool.
