I assume that's what this patch is for:

radmin_detect.nasl
  Status:     changed
  Id:         11123
  Name:       radmin detection
  Family:     Backdoors
  Category:   infos
  Summary:    Detect radmin
  Version:    1.4
  CVE-ID(s):  n/a
  Changes:
       12-   script_version ("$Revision: 1.3 $");
       12+   script_version ("$Revision: 1.4 $");
    --------
       44- port = get_kb_item("Services/unknown");
       45- if (! port) port=4899;
       44+ if(safe_checks())
       45+ {
       46+  port = 4899;
       47+ }
       48+ else
       49+ {
       50+  port = get_kb_item("Services/unknown");
       51+  if (! port) port=4899;
       52+ }
    --------
       97+ 
       98+ 
    --------

First, thanks!

Second, I'm hoping to understand the why's.  Before this patch,
radmin_detect would attempt to find a known backdoor (radmin) on any unknown
service (from find_service.nes?), right?  So we have limited the
effectiveness of this script unless I can provide legitimate traffic so you
can identify snmpdm, right?  I.e., the script won't be able to detect the
radmin backdoor if the attacker starts it on another port.

I'm still trying to get some legitimate traffic for you.

Thanks,
Owen
