discussion on nmap-dev about how best to handle these. I also updated the docs and
am about to regenerate script.db. See this thread for more info:

I made every script follow a standard form: it starts with the id, followed by
the description. The description is contained in [[ ]] delimiters. The
description is in the global description variable, not in a LuaDoc comment.
Other LuaDoc information such as @args and @usage follows the description in a

On top of updating the docs with information about this new category, I've

without permission.
The new list is very similar to the previous "safe,intrusive" list:
Added: finger, ircServerInfo, RealVNC_auth_bypass
Removed: HTTPpasswd
Here are the 21 scripts in this new category:
anonFTP
dns-test-open-recursion
finger
ftpbounce
HTTPAuth
HTTP_open_proxy
ircServerInfo
MSSQLm
MySQLinfo
nbstat
RealVNC_auth_bypass
robots
rpcinfo
showHTMLTitle
showOwner
SMTPcommands
SNMPsysdesr
SSHv1-support
SSLv2-support
UPnP-info
