OpenKAT scans networks, finds vulnerabilities and creates accessible reports. It integrates the most widely used network tools and scanning software into a modular framework, accesses external databases such as shodan, and combines the information from all these sources into clear reports. It also includes lots of cat hair.
A feature request was made by Kennisnet, Z-cert and ip-zorg that would allows us to avoid doing multiple scans from similar organizations for the same assets. Deduplication of jobs that ask the same question from organizations could solve this.
Detailed description
We could see if a recent successful job is available within the scheduler and copy the data over from that organization into the newly requesting organization.
Obviously allowing a job to instantly return data scanned by another organization would result in the new user 'knowing' someone else also has these assets in their organization which might not be what we'd want. As such maybe organizations (or installations) should enable/disable this. Eg, in this installation deduplication is allowed, and for organization X jobs are readable for other organizations. For organization Y jobs are not readable for deduplication..
Feature benefit/User story
This avoids repeated scans, and associated resource consumption, and possibly getting blocked by the scanned parties when large amounts on organizations use similar assets.
Specifications
The implementation should include…
[ ] Specification 1
[ ] Specification 2
