Tripwire IP360 API Example- Using Python 3 and Plot.ly to visualise data
After my recent post over on the State of Security blog I wanted to share just how easy it is to get started with a few basic scripts to capture and present information from Tripwire's IP360 VnE.
The following is a technical walk-through intended to take you through the process of connecting to Tripwire’s Vulnerability and Exposure (VnE) virtual appliance API using Python, capturing vulnerability scanning data and then outputting it graphically using a public service called plot.ly using a second API. Despite us using two different API's the code - available
I'll assume you've got some basics of programming and/or scripting already in your head, but this is very much a beginner's example, so I'll try to detail anything that might catch you out.
