Vulners agent

Vulners agent for Windows is an open source solution, which provides vulnerability assessment Windows-based systems. The agent performs scans with minimum execution commands and, as a result, achieves extremely fast scanning speed. You will need the Python 3 to install the agent.

The agent gathers information about your operating system, its version, and any installed packages and patches. This information is then sent to Vulners API to find out which software is vulnerable. You can check how it works in manual mode to evaluate the results.

Now paste it during the configuration step. If necessary, you can set an alternate Vulners host or Vulners proxy address. You can also set agent identification parameters, such as IP address and FQDN. You will see these parameters in the dashboard.

Press Next and finish installation. The scanning process will start automatically. Once finished, you can view agent status and scan results in the Audit section of your personal account.

To run the installer silently use the following arguments:

• APIKEY (required)
• INSTALLDIR
• HOST
• IP
• FQDN
• MAC

Configuration

The installation process will create a scheduled task for scanning and a configuration file. You can use the Windows Task Scheduler console to adjust the scan interval. The configuration file and logs are located in the Program Data folder.
