Description: vulnerable products detection (Python 3)
Notus Scanner detects vulnerable products in a system environment. The
scanning method is to evaluate internal system information. It does this very
fast and even detects currently inactive products because it does not need to
interact with each of the products.
.
To report about vulnerabilities, Notus Scanner receives collected system
information on the one hand and accesses the vulnerability information from
the feed service on the other. Both input elements are in table form: the
system information is specific to each environment and the vulnerability
information is specific to each system type.
.
This is a component of the Greenbone Vulnerability Management framework.
