Vulnmine

Vulnmine uses simple Machine Learning to mine Microsoft's SCCM host and software inventory data for vulnerable 3rd-party software.

NIST's NVD vulnerability feeds are pulled in on a daily basis to determine the latest vulnerabilities to search for.

Running Vulnmine

There is a public container with test data ready for use on Docker Hub: lorgor/vulnmine

To download and run the Vulnmine container:

docker run -it --rm lorgor/vulnmine bash

python vulnmine/__main__.py -a 'all'

Commandline Start Options

Here are the possible options when starting Vulnmine:

vulnmine.py  [-h] [--version] [-l Logging] [-a Action] [-y Years] [-w Workdir]

Parameter	Use
-h	Help information
-help
-l	Set desired verbosity for logging:
--loglevel	debug info warning error critical
-a	Desired action to perform:
--action	rd_sccm_hosts: Read SCCM host data
	rd_sccm_sft: Read SCCM software data
	rd_cpe: Download / input NIST CPE Vendor-Product dictionary
	rd_cve: Download / input NIST CVE Vulnerability feed data
	match_vendors:
	Match vendors from SCCM "Add-Remove" registry data to NVD CPE data
	match_sft:
	Match software from SCCM "Add-Remove"registry data to NVD CPE data
	upd_hosts_vulns: Determine vulnerabilities for each host in SCCM
	output_stats: Output the results
	all: Run all the above in sequence
-y	Number of years to download. There is one CVE feed file for each year's data.
--years
-w	Specifies work directory
--workdir

Production mode

If no parameters are specified, then Vulnmine runs in production mode:

• The main vulnmine.py starts and sets up an endless schedule loop.
• The loop fires once daily by default.
• Each day Vulnmine:
  • Reads the SCCM inventory data files (UTF16 csv format) in the its CSV directory.
  • Downloads updated NVD feed files.
  • Processes the SCCM and NVD data.
  • Produces output JSON files into the same csv directory.

Configuring Vulnmine

Vulnmine can be configured using .INI files. (This uses the standard python ConfigParser library.)

The default .INI file is in vulnmine/vulnmine_data/vulnmine_defaults.ini.

Users can override default values. Vulnmine looks for the following file: data/vulnmine.ini.

Here is an example:

[User]
# Section must start with "[User]"

# Override Plugin default values
# ===================================

# Plugins will load from "data/my_plugins"
Plugins: data/my_plugins/

# Turn off plugin function completely
Activate_plugins: No
