categories, and directories. Each element in the list may also be a
Boolean expression describing a more complex set of scripts. Each
element is interpreted first as an expression, then as a category, and
finally as a file or directory name. The special argument
<literal>all</literal> makes every script in Nmap's script database
eligible to run. The <literal>all</literal> argument should be used with caution as NSE may contain dangerous scripts including exploits, brute force authentication crackers, and denial of service attacks.
finally as a file or directory name.</para>
<para>There are two special features for advanced users only.
One is to prefix script names and expressions with
<literal>+</literal> to force them to run even if they normally
wouldn't (e.g. the relevant service wasn't detected on the target
port). The other is that the argument <literal>all</literal> may be
used to specify every script in Nmap's database. Be cautious with
this because NSE contains dangerous scripts such as exploits, brute
force authentication crackers, and denial of service attacks.
