Overview

The aim of vultest tool is to facilitate vulnerability testing through automatic setup and configurations of vulnerable environments. A vulnerable environment includes a base OS, vulnerable software and related software components, and other resources like applications data.

To facilitate automatic vulnerability testing, we need to implement the following features:

  1. Setup of an appropriate base OS
  2. Installation and configurations of vulnerable software, related components, and application resources
  3. Preparation of the exploit code or tool to test the vulnerability

This configuration database, vultest-db, ensures that the above features are executed exactly and repeatedly. The database includes three kinds of information:

  • vulnerability information
  • knowledge of the vulnerable environment
  • exploit code to attack the vulnerability

We provide several ready-to-use configurations. However, to make a good ecosystem, we believe that open and trustworthy data play important role for the purpose. That is, community efforts are essential and expected.
