Automatically Building an Information-Security Vulnerability DatabaseAdrian Armold, Bret Hyla and Neil RoweThe 7th IEEE Information Assurance Workshop (IAWorkshop 2006)West Point, New York, USA, June 21-23, 2006
AbstractThe goal of this project was to aggregate the myriad computer vulnerability notices that exist on the World Wide Web and to mine it for interesting information and patterns. Unfortunately, no single database currently brings together the various kinds of data from the various vulnerability sites; of particular interest to us was the integration of author and discoverer information. We performed the data aggregation by creating Web bots that traversed a set of Web sites and retrieved selected information from them, then imported the aggregated Web data into a relational database. A browser provides Web-based access to this database.
