Exploit Scanner Skipping symlink

By zaba - November 8, 2013

Hi, I would like to be able to switch off the reporting of Skipping symlink, is this possible?

Hi zaba, 

The program doesn't provide a way to disable that, but you could just modify the code if you like.

Just search for "sym" and add a # before xs_logOutput on this line:

    elseif (is_link($origPath)) { #xs_logOutput("Skipping symlink '$origPath' to '" .readlink($origPath). "' (to prevent infinite loops links are not followed!\n"); }

Hope that helps!

  #  elseif (is_link($origPath)) { xs_logOutput("Skipping symlink '$origPath' to '" .readlink($origPath). "' (to prevent infinite loops links are not followed!\n"); }

moved it to the beginning as it kicked out an error
