unreleased

Added

  • Allow to specify hostname for SSH and TLS connections in the config file #239

Changed

  • The script random-report-gen.gmp is able to add host, host details, os and application data now, so the created reports are more realistic PR 218, PR 220 PR 225
  • The script random-report-gen.gmp now uses argparser, to improve its usage PR 223
  • Use .py ending for all gmp scripts to support auto highlighting PR 244
  • Updated glossary in the documentation to reflect changes in GVM 11 PR 245
  • Replaced pipenv with poetry for dependency management. poetry install works a bit different then pipenv install. It installs dev packages by default and also gvmtools in editable mode. This means after running poetry install all gvm-tools scripts are available in the created virtual environment. PR 246

Fixed

  • Exit with an error, if the check_gmp.gmp script is used with an temporary path, that has not the correct permissions.
  • Fixed update-task-target.gmp to create unique target names to support Gmpv8
  • Fixed an error, where the --sockpath argument didn't worked as expected PR 216
  • Catch exception from gvm lib PR 222 PR 224
  • Fixed send-targets.gmp throwing an exception due to an improper check PR 248
  • Fixed send-targets.gmp : hosts and exclude_hosts expecting lists PR 248

Removed

2.0.0 - 2019-09-19

Added

  • Added --duration switch to gvm-cli for command execution measurement PR 206
  • Added --ssh-password switch for ssh connection PR 140
  • Added a new console line interface gvm-script for only running GMP and OSP scripts without opening a python shell PR 152
  • Forbid to run any gvm-tools cli as root user PR 183
  • Added error message if invalid XML is passed to gvm-cli PR 198
  • Added argument --pretty to gvm-cli to pretty format xml output PR 203

Changed

  • Improved error messages if unix socket could not be found PR 78
  • The structure for the config file (default is ~/.config/gvm-tools.conf) has changed. It's possible to set defaults for nearly all command line arguments PR 140
  • The command line help for gvm-cli and gvm-pyshell has been updated and made more consistent PR 138
  • Renamed --ssh-user switch to --ssh-username PR 140
  • Update gvmtools.get_version to return a fully compliant PEP 440 version string PR 150
  • Refresh the dependencies specified via the Pipfile.lock file to their latest versions PR 186, PR 193
  • Dropped global command line arguments from sub commands e.g. it must be gvm-cli --config foo.conf socket ... instead of gvm-cli socket --config foo.conf now. The latter didn't work actually but was listed in the --help output #194
  • Improved error message if a global argument is passed after the connection type to gvm-cli #196
  • Renamed clean-slave.gmp to clean-sensor.gmp PR 202

Deprecated

  • Only running scripts with gvm-pyshell is deprecated PR 152
  • [Auth] section in config file is deprecated and will be ignored in future releases PR 160

Fixed

  • Fix a bug which caused gvm-pyshell to immediately re-enter interactive mode upon exiting it for the first time PR 139
  • Support [Auth] section in config file for backwards compatibility PR 160
  • Fix using correct API to get single task and targets in update-task-target.gmp script PR 188

2.0.0.beta1 - 2018-11-13

gvm-tools got split into the command line interfaces (gvm-cli and gvm-pyshell) including the gmp (example) scripts and the Python API. The Python API can now be found at python-gvm. During this split the python package name for the API got changed from gmp to gvm. The API has also been refactored and stabilized. For details please take a look at python-gvm PR 126.

Added

  • It's now possible to write OSP scripts. Using the --protocol=OSP switch gvm-pyshell adds a global osp object instead of the gmp one.
  • Added new client helper module.
  • It's possible to get the current versions of gvm-tools via __version__ and python-gvm via __api_version__ PR 127
  • Use pipenv for development.

Changed

  • The __name__ variable is set to __gmp__ for GMP scripts and to __osp__ for OSP scripts (Remember: for normal Python scripts __name__ is set to __main__).
  • Scripts are only getting two global variables now: gmp (or osp) and args. gmp and osp are the global objects to communicate with the remote gvmd or ospd daemon. args contains the parsed arguments for the script.
  • The global args object only contains script related parameters now. These username and password from the --gmp-username and --gmp-password switches and the additional scripts parameters as args.argv.
  • GMPError got renamed to GvmError and must be imported from gvm.errors module. 
    from gvm.errors import GvmError as GMPError
  • pretty function isn't available as a global function in the scripts anymore. It must be imported separately like 
    from gvmtools.helper import pretty_print as pretty
  • The included gmp scripts have been cleaned up and adjusted for the new API.

Removed

  • Removed experimental gvm-dialog application.
