OpenSSL Installed (Linux)

info Nessus Plugin ID 168007

Synopsis

OpenSSL was detected on the remote Linux host.

Description

OpenSSL was detected on the remote Linux host.

The plugin timeout can be set to a custom value other than the plugin's default of 15 minutes via the 'timeout.168007' scanner setting in Nessus 8.15.1 or later.

Please see https://docs.tenable.com/nessus/Content/SettingsAdvanced.htm#Custom for more information.

Note: This plugin leverages the '-maxdepth' find command option, which is a feature implemented by the GNU find binary. If the target does not support this option, such as HP-UX and AIX devices, users will need to enable 'thorough tests' in their scan policy to run the find command without using a '-maxdepth' argument.
