Wooyun_public is a crawler and search engine for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities from wooyun.org. The project originally collected 4000 public vulnerabilities and knowledge base entries using Scrapy and Elasticsearch. A later version ingested 8800 vulnerability entries from another repository, incorporating search enhancements and compatibility updates. The system's primary goal is to provide a readily searchable resource for security researchers and developers.
The project offers a searchable index of public vulnerabilities, allowing users to easily find information. It incorporates a search functionality with keyword search and in-detail searching capabilities. The repository provides access to pre-configured virtual machine environments for easy setup and testing of the crawler and search components. It supports PHP versions 5.6 and later.
- Vulnerability Crawling: Crawls wooyun.org for public vulnerability reports and knowledge base entries.
- Search Functionality: Supports keyword search and searching within vulnerability details for efficient information retrieval.
- Virtual Machine Environments: Includes downloadable virtual machine images for easy setup and immediate use of the crawler and search engine.
- PHP Compatibility: Modified to work with PHP 5.6 and later versions.
- Database: Uses MongoDB and Elasticsearch for data storage and efficient searching.
The project is archived, indicating limited recent development activity. The last commit was in 2019, and open issues are minimal. The project’s documentation is available in README files, but comprehensive documentation is lacking. Community support appears to be minimal given the archived status.
Security researchers and developers can benefit from Wooyun_public by accessing a searchable database of publicly disclosed vulnerabilities. It provides a convenient alternative to manually searching through wooyun.org's website. The pre-configured virtual machine images significantly reduce the setup time and complexity of using the crawler and search engine.
