gvm-tools 20.10.0

20.10.0 - 2020-10-05

Changed

• Fixed send-schedule.gmp.py script, because <timezone_abbrev> has been removed from Schedules, using <timezone> instead. [#299]

• Fixed send-targets.gmp.py script, because alive_test needs to be from AliveTest enum in create_target function. #297

• Added gmpv20.08 support to the scan-new-system.gmp.py script, as create_target requires an argument port_range or port_list_id now. #295

• Using the --log argument is not casesensitive anymore. Use the lower-case or upper-case loglevel as the argument now.PR 276

Fixed

• Fixed the check-gmp.gmp.py script, as it was not compatible to Python 3.5 anymore. PR 280
• Fixed the check-gmp.gmp.py script: results have not been loaded with -F host -T task --status and probably some other cases. Added details=True to the command that requests the report. PR 280

Removed

• Removed gvm.version module in favor of using pontos.version
  #254

gvm-tools 2.1.0

2.1.0 - 2020-04-03

Added

• Allow to specify hostname for SSH and TLS connections in the config file #239

Changed

• The script random-report-gen.gmp is able to add host, host details, os
  and application data now, so the created reports are more realistic
  PR 218,
  PR 220
  PR 225
• The script random-report-gen.gmp now uses argparser, to improve its usage PR 223
• Use .py ending for all gmp scripts to support auto highlighting PR 244
• Updated glossary in the documentation to reflect changes in GVM 11 PR 245
• Replaced pipenv with poetry for dependency management. poetry install
  works a bit different then pipenv install. It installs dev packages by
  default and also gvmtools in editable mode. This means after running
  poetry install all gvm-tools scripts are available in the created virtual
  environment. PR 246
• Fixed version handling after switching to poetry #249

Fixed

• Exit with an error, if the check_gmp.gmp script is used with an temporary path, that has not the correct permissions.
• Fixed update-task-target.gmp to create unique target names to support Gmpv8
• Fixed an error, where the --sockpath argument didn't worked as expected PR 216
• Catch exception from gvm lib PR 222 PR 224
• Fixed send-targets.gmp throwing an exception due to an improper check PR 248
• Fixed send-targets.gmp : hosts and exclude_hosts expecting lists PR 248

  made more consistent PR 138
• Renamed --ssh-user switch to --ssh-username PR 140

  versions PR 186,
  PR 193
• Dropped global command line arguments from sub commands e.g. it must be gvm-cli --config foo.conf socket ...
  instead of gvm-cli socket --config foo.conf now. The latter didn't work actually but
  was listed in the --help output #194
• Improved error message if a global argument is passed after the connection type to gvm-cli
  #196
• Renamed clean-slave.gmp to clean-sensor.gmp PR 202

  upon exiting it for the first time PR 139
• Support [Auth] section in config file for backwards compatibility PR 160
• Fix using correct API to get single task and targets in update-task-target.gmp
  script PR 188

gvm-tools 2.0.0.beta1

gvm-tools got split into the command line interfaces (gvm-cli and gvm-pyshell) including the
gmp (example) scripts and the Python API. The Python API can now be found at python-gvm. During this split the python package name for the API got changed from gmp to gvm. The API has also been refactored and stabilized. For details please take a look at python-gvm.

Scripts

• It's now possible to write OSP scripts. Using the --protocol=OSP switch
  gvm-pyshell adds a global osp object instead of the gmp one.
• The __name__ variable is set to __gmp__ for GMP scripts and to __osp__
  for OSP scripts (Remember: for normal Python scripts __name__ is set to
  __main__).
• Scripts are only getting two global variables now: gmp (or osp)
  and args. gmp and osp are the global objects to communicate with
  the remote gvmd or ospd daemon. args contains the parsed arguments for
  the script.
• The global args object only contains script related parameters now. These
  username and password from the --gmp-username and --gmp-password switches and
  the additional scripts parameters as args.argv.
• GMPError got renamed to GvmError and must be imported from gvm.errors module.

  from gvm.errors import GvmError as GMPError

• Added new client helper module.
• pretty function isn't available as a global function in the scripts anymore.
  It must be imported separately like

  from gvmtools.helper import pretty_print as pretty

• The included gmp scripts
  have been cleaned up and adjusted for the new API.
• It's possible to get the current versions of gvm-tools via __version__ and
  python-gvm via __api_version__.

Other

• Removed experimental gvm-dialog application.
• Use pipenv for development.
