Project description
Greenbone Vulnerability Management Python Library
The Greenbone Vulnerability Management Python API library (python-gvm) is a collection of APIs that help with remote controlling Greenbone Community Edition installations and Greenbone Enterprise Appliances. The library essentially abstracts accessing the communication protocols Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP) and Open Scanner Protocol (OSP).

Documentation
The documentation for python-gvm can be found at https://greenbone.github.io/python-gvm/. Please always take a look at the documentation for further details. This README just gives you a short overview.
Installation
Version
Please consider to always use the newest version of gvm-tools and python-gvm.
We frequently update this projects to add features and keep them free from bugs.
This is why installing python-gvm using pip is recommended.
[!IMPORTANT] To use
python-gvmwith GMP version of 7, 8 or 9 you must use a release version that is<21.5. In the21.5release the support of these versions has been dropped.
[!IMPORTANT] To use
python-gvmwith GMP version 20.8 or 21.4 you must use a release version that is<24.6. In the24.6release the support of these versions has been dropped.
Requirements
Python 3.9 and later is supported.
Install using pip
You can install the latest stable release of python-gvm from the Python Package Index using pip:
python3 -m pip install --user python-gvm
Example
from gvm.connections import UnixSocketConnection
from gvm.protocols.gmp import Gmp
from gvm.transforms import EtreeTransform
from gvm.xml import pretty_print
connection = UnixSocketConnection()
transform = EtreeTransform()
with Gmp(connection, transform=transform) as gmp:
# Retrieve GMP version supported by the remote daemon
version = gmp.get_version()
# Prints the XML in beautiful form
pretty_print(version)
# Login
gmp.authenticate('foo', 'bar')
# Retrieve all tasks
tasks = gmp.get_tasks()
# Get names of tasks
task_names = tasks.xpath('task/name/text()')
pretty_print(task_names)

Contributing
Your contributions are highly appreciated. Please create a pull request on GitHub. For bigger changes, please discuss it first in the issues.
For development you should use poetry to keep you python packages separated in different environments. First install poetry via pip
python3 -m pip install --user poetry
Afterwards run
poetry install
in the checkout directory of python-gvm (the directory containing the
pyproject.toml file) to install all dependencies including the packages only
required for development.
The python-gvm repository uses autohooks to apply linting and auto formatting via git hooks. Please ensure the git hooks are active.
$ poetry install
$ poetry run autohooks activate --force
