I am quite regular visitor of milw0rm and generally try to keep up with the vul’s. For doing this I wrote a small scripts rather set of scripts to keep myself update. Here’s what we are going to do:
-
Get the latest tar from the site.
-
Extract it.
-
Make the index
-
Have a shortcut to search the index.
Download the attached files for the first 2 points. <a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/makeindex-milw0rm.sh">makeindex-milw0rm and <a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/udpate-milw0rm.sh">udpate-milw0rm
Now open the update-milw0rm file with the directory paths, that is located in the starting of the file.
Once that is done, do the following on the terminal,
crontab -e
Add a entry like this:
@daily /home/amit/update-milw0rm.sh
So you are all set to automatically download and update the data everyday. Lets now create a alias to search the exploitlist from the terminal.
Put the following in your profile :
alias search_sploit=”cat $(cat ~/bin/update-milw0rm.sh|grep dir=|awk -F’=’ '{print $2}’|awk -F’”’ '{print $2}’)/milw0rm/sploitlist.txt|grep -i”
Now, when you want to search the database for the exploit you can simply type:
search_sploit
