Fast scan and Deep scan

Fast Scan

• Scan without root privilege, no dependencies
• Almost no load on the scan target server
• Offline mode scan with no internet access. (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux,OracleLinux, Ubuntu, Debian)

Fast Root Scan

• Scan with root privilege
• Almost no load on the scan target server
• Detect processes affected by update using yum-ps (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux and Amazon Linux)
• Detect processes which updated before but not restarting yet using checkrestart of debian-goodies (Debian and Ubuntu)
• Offline mode scan with no internet access. (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, OracleLinux, Ubuntu, Debian)

Deep Scan

• same as fast-root scan mode for now.

Remote scan mode, Local scan mode, Server mode

Remote scan Mode

• User is required to only setup one machine that is connected to other target servers via SSH

Local scan mode

• If you don't want the central Vuls server to connect to each server by SSH, you can use Vuls in the Local Scan mode.

Server mode

• No SSH needed, No Scanner needed. Only issuing Linux commands directory on the scan target serve.
• First, start Vuls in server mode and listen as an HTTP server.
• Start Vuls in server mode and listen as an HTTP server.
• Next, issue a command on the scan target server to collect software information. Then send the result to Vuls Server via HTTP. You receive the scan results as JSON format.

Dynamic Analysis

• It is possible to acquire the state of the server by connecting via SSH and executing the command
• Vuls warns not-restarting-processes which updated before but not restarting yet and detects processes affecting software update in advance.

Scan middleware that are not included in OS package management

• Scan middleware, programming language libraries and framework for vulnerability
• Support software registered in CPE

Integration

• GitHub Security Alerts
• OWASP Dependency Check
• WordPress

MISC

• Nondestructive testing
• Pre-authorization is NOT necessary before scanning on AWS
  • Vuls works well with Continuous Integration since tests can be run every day. This allows you to find vulnerabilities very quickly.
• Auto generation of configuration file template
  • Auto detection of servers set using CIDR, generate configuration file template
• Email and Slack notification is possible (supports Japanese language)
• Scan result is viewable on accessory software, TUI Viewer on terminal or Web UI (VulsRepo).
