I’m stealing this 👍

I’m going to say yes as I sit here wearing a fedora tank top.

You can import CSV files directly into an SQLite database. Then you are free to do whatever sql searches or manipulations you want. Python and golang both have great SQLite libraries from personal experience, but I’d be surprised if there is any language that doesn’t have a decent one.

If you are running Linux most distros have an SQLite gui browser in the repos that is pretty powerful.

I saw it put really well the other day. Any software has in general a set number of bugs per lines of code. Something like Debian the number of bugs goes down after release as only bugfixes occur, while anything constantly moving like a rolling release, is certain to grow in number of bugs as the less tested newer software (which generally includes more loc) is pushed. There are tradeoffs to both methods, and edge cases of course.

I’m on bookworm now myself. Check this out https://forum.greenbone.net/t/external-access-to-gsa-web-interface-ip/1671/4 and thanks I’ll let you know if I run into trouble!

I think my issue was I was building it on a debian 11 bullseye. I managed to get all the individual pieces built and running, there was just one piece missing and I can’t remember which now. I’ll certainly give it a go. Someone just sent me a kvm build of debian sid just for that reason in fact! I believe they are working on the gvm debian package.

Yes you can! I’ve attempted on debian before but it’s something like 12 components you have to build and configure and I ran into some issues. It’s been a while though and I don’t remember exactly what gave me trouble. I know I had issues at one point due to the host not having enough ram. If you don’t have at least 8 gigs it’s not going to be happy. At least in my experience.

Let me know how it goes though and what distro you use.

They have pretty good documentation.

I know you said preferably no docker, but greenbone community edition is nice. It’s a fork from nessus back in the day. They don’t really put any restrictions on the community version. If you want to see it in action I have a test server up and running.

Haha I love it. c++ is definitely super useful. I never got that deep with it but I’ve certainly benefited from many things written in c++. Wrote small things and I’ve had to debug it on occasion just to get something working. It usually ended up being a compiler flag I had to set. I ended up going into web and network related stuff after college. Perl was my goto back then but I’m loving these newer languages and the thought put into some of it. For example the struct, interfaces, and type systems in go could probably replicate a lot of what you would use the classes and objects for.

I used c++ in college, and I think it’s useful to know c because so much relies on it. That said if I’m going to do something that needs performance I’ll look to go first, then rust if go isn’t a good fit, but that’s mostly because I know go better. Both are excellent languages.

If I just need something functional quick and easily I’ll turn to Python. If I need a net service quick node.js is great.
