What's this lib?

This project is a Python library to connect and manage the OpenVAS servers using the OMP protocol. OpenVAS 6, 7, 8 and 9 are supported (7 and 8 versions are still experimental)

Also, you can parse and interpret OpenVas XML reports.

Why this lib?

There is an [official python library](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/openvas.omplib) for OpenVAS, but it doesn't work with OMPv4 based versions (OpenVAS 6).

Also, the official library has many unfixed bugs, and it's not capable to read and interpret the XML reports.

License

This library is released under BSD Clause 3 license

Python versions

Currently, this library only runs under Python 2.7 and above. Port to Python 3.x is not scheduled.

Bug, ports and new features

Feel free to port, patch or add any new feature to this library, and send us the pull request. We thank you in advance :)

Quick start

Installing

Downloading from code

To download the latest source code enter the following command:

git clone https://github.com/golismero/openvas_lib.git

Then, install the library in your default Python installation run the following command:

python setup.py install

Install using pip

pip install openvas_lib

Manage OpenVas server

Connect to the server

from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException

try:
    scanner = VulnscanManager(HOST, USER, PASSWORD, PORT, TIMEOUT)
except VulnscanException as e:
    print("Error:")
    print(e)

Launch a simple scan

from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException

scanner = VulnscanManager(HOST, USER, PASSWORD, PORT, TIMEOUT)
scan_id, target_id = scanner.launch_scan(target = "127.0.0.1", # Target to scan
                                         profile = "Full and fast")

Launch advanced scan

The library supports callbacks. They will be run every 10 seconds and report the status of the scan ("callback_progress") or the end of the scan ("callback_end").

from threading import Semaphore
from functools import partial

from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException

def my_print_status(i):
    print(str(i))

def my_launch_scanner():

    sem = Semaphore(0)

    # Configure
    manager = VulnscanManager("localhost", "admin", "admin")

    # Launch
    manager.launch_scan(target,
                        profile = "empty",
                        callback_end = partial(lambda x: x.release(), sem),
                        callback_progress = my_print_status)

    # Wait
    Sem.acquire()

    # Finished scan
    print("finished")

Running it:

>>> my_launch_scanner() # It can take some time
0
10
39
60
90
finished

Get results of scan

from __future__ import print_function
from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException

scanner = VulnscanManager(HOST, USER, PASSWORD, PORT, TIMEOUT)
openvas_results = scanner.get_results(SCAN_ID)

Delete scan

from __future__ import print_function
from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException

scanner = VulnscanManager(HOST, USER, PASSWORD, PORT, TIMEOUT)
scanner.delete_scan(SCAN_ID)

Delete target

from __future__ import print_function
from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException

scanner = VulnscanManager(HOST, USER, PASSWORD, PORT, TIMEOUT)
scanner.delete_target(TARGET_ID)

Parse OpenVas XML report

You can use examples reports, available in test/ folder, as "xml" extension. This reports was made using Metasploitable Linux distribution.

>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> from openvas_lib import report_parser
>>> results = report_parser("tests/metasploitable_all.xml")
>>> print(results)
