Backend component after component sharing - a Linux/FreeBSD vulnerability scanner vuls
background
Recently, we are exploring various common components and tools on the front-end, back-end, and system side, and reorganize some of the common components to form a standardized component topic, which will later include some commonly used components in various languages. Welcome everyone to continue to pay attention.

For system administrators, having to perform security vulnerability analysis and software updates on a daily basis can be a burden. To avoid downtime in production environments, system administrators often choose not to use the automatic update options provided by package managers and perform updates manually. This leads to the following problems.
- Sysadmins must be constantly on the lookout for any new vulnerabilities in the NVD (National Vulnerability Database) or similar databases.
- If a large number of software packages are installed on the server, the system administrator may not be able to monitor all the software.
- Performing analysis to determine which servers are affected by new vulnerabilities is costly. A server or two may have been overlooked during the analysis.
Vuls is a tool created to solve the above problems. It has the following characteristics.
- Notify users of system-related vulnerabilities.
- Notify users of affected servers.
- Vulnerability detection is done automatically to prevent any oversights.
- Generate reports periodically using CRON or other methods. Management Vulnerabilities.
