Openvas2Report Manual¶
What’s this tool?¶
In few words: with this tools you can convert the OpenVAS XML report to beautiful Excel file.
Basic usage¶
The more simple usage is with only one file as input.
Note
If you haven’t a XML as example, you can get one in folder examples
.
This pictures shows the example XML file:
To run only write:
> openvas_to_document -i my_openvas_report.xml -o generated_excel.xslx
After running you got this Excel:
Also, you can specify more than one XML report as input:
> openvas_to_document-i my_openvas_report_1.xml -i my_openvas_report_2.xml -o generated_excel.xslx
Advanced usage¶
If you want to exclude some hosts from report, you can use two aproaches:
- Using a scope filter.
- Specify a list of hosts to exclude.
Setting a filter¶
Is you only want to include certain hosts in your Excel report, you only must create a .txt file with your scope:
> echo 10.0.0.1 > my_scope.txt
> echo 10.0.1.23 >> my_scope.txt
Then use it as a parameter in the tools:
> openvas_to_document -i my_openvas_report.xml -o generated_excel.xslx --scope-hosts my_scope.txt
Simple right? :)
Excluding hosts¶
The second approach is to create a black list. As in the previous case, we’ll define our file:
> echo 127.0.0.1 > excluded.txt
> echo 192.168.0.3 >> excluded.txt
And then, use it:
> openvas_to_document -i my_openvas_report.xml -o generated_excel.xslx --exclude-hosts excluded.txt
