9 years ago Thanks for the kind words! My goal isn't to remake MSF Pro but to enhance the collection and usage processes around penetration test data.
My guess is the memory issue is a combo of web2py, python and Kvasir's use of cache.ram. A quick test would be to do a global search/replace cache.ram to cache.disk. This could have other consequences so make sure you can revert easily. It shouldn't impact any stored data, just how web2py/Kvasir store cache data.
More on web2py's cache @ http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#cache
I would expect Imports to eat a lot of cache/memory as it's probably the most active of tasks. I have been running a number of imports this morning and my python still has yet to breach 500 MB real memory size (based on OS X Activity Monitor): [image: Inline image 1] What version of python, web2py and OS are you using?

Just wanted to say something before I post an issue. Kvasir is an amazing product for being Open Source. Reminds me of Metasploit Pro without the 50k price tag. Good work guys.
So I've noticed using Kvasir that memory that's not needed isn't released back to the system. Kvasir will just keep hold the memory until you physically stop the service. I have 15GB of memory on my laptop and have postgresql running on a backend server. Kvasir will slowly use all of my memory on the laptop if I let it.
I know in your README file you say its for small engagements. But I wanted to see if I can import over 5,000 IP worth of Nessus vulnerability data and see how it handles. Other than the memory leak issue it can handle it.
Thanks for a great product. Would love to help out any way I can.
