This is an OSP server implementation to allow GVM to remotely control
a debsecan scanner, see http://www.enyo.de/fw/software/debsecan/.
ospd-debsecan identifies vulnerable packages on the Debian system it is
executed against.
Once running, you need to configure the Scanner for Greenbone Vulnerability Manager, for example via the web interface Greenbone Security Assistant. Then you can create scan tasks to use this scanner.
Python 3 and later is supported.
Beyond the ospd base library,
ospd-debsecan has dependencies on the following Python package:
paramiko
There are no special installation aspects for this module beyond the general installation guide for ospd-based scanners.
Please follow the general installation guide for ospd-based scanners:
https://github.com/greenbone/ospd/blob/master/doc/INSTALL-ospd-scanner.md
Starting a scan requires an SSH credential parameter because ospd-debsecan
needs to login on the target systems to run the locally installed debsecan
tool.
Apart from this, there are no special usage aspects for this module beyond the generic usage guide.
Please follow the general usage guide for ospd-based scanners:
