I’ve been thinking about rewrite a totally new tool for several months to replace the default cli OVAL scanner provided by OVAL official site. And finally today I decided to totally rewrite a new scanner in C# under Windows which runs on a single workstation. And it’s sure that I promise I won’t use any code from the corp currently I’m working for.
The project is hosted here: http://code.google.com/p/oscanner/
You see, it’s hard to decide a name. The name oscanner means OVAL scanner, or OS scanner, whatever you think of.
I hope the project will help me improve the my coding skills and I’ll contribute it to the OVAL community when it’s suitable.
Features considering:
- friendly GUI.
- fast speed.
- compatiable with OVAL standard.
- clean and well-commented source
- as much as possible pure .NET code
Advises are welcome.
It seems you are having a hard time getting started. Why not submit patches to sussen?
Cheers,
Vlad
I’m afraid of violating NDA with previous corp. (the current corp I mentioned in the post)
but I didn’t work on OVAL related stuffs for a long time.
developing such an app need a lot of time, that’s why the project looks freeze.
why not contribute to sussen?
sussen is different from what I want to do from design to implement.
