Feature Request: Local Extraction Directory Name #113

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Currently when the system pulls down compressed files for extraction, and when 
it sets up mount points the extraction directory and mount point name used 
appears to be based upon a incremented numeric value. In cases where the mount 
or the scan fails to clean up after itself (there maybe other cases), the 
extraction directory or mount point may not be removed cleanly. Additionally, 
when multiple scans are running concurrently its not always easy to distinguish 
which extraction directory or mount point is related to which scan.

Is it possible to change the way this value is generated to match the 
$scan_name-$scan_target-$value, or some other value that can be easily linked 
back to a specific scan and scan target?

It appears that $subdir is the variable used to manage this value, and 
$local_dir is the variable used to create the directory/mount point in 
agentless-unix.pl. (I have not looked at any of the other scripts to see if 
they are the same.)
Would it make sense to simply set $local_dir to something like the following:
$local_dir = "/tmp/OpenDLP/$scanname/$target/$subdir 

Thank You, 
Brian A. Kee
