Dependent ServiceScans

[blockisec]

Currently ServiceScan plugins can only run per protocol (nmap result). It would give a bigger flexibility if plugins could depend on the result/patterns of other ServiceScan plugins.

To workaround this limitation, I currently use manual scans or run autorecon multiple times using different tags.

For example: If nmap detects an HTTP server, all HTTP plugins run (in the current state). If one of the plugins for example detect a Wordpress installation (e.g. by pattern matching some HTML meta tag), it would be useful to run some enumeration on the Wordpress. Running the Wordpress enumeration plugin against other CMS or application would be useless and may slow down the scans.

Thanks for your work.
