Welcome to OpenVAS2Report’s documentation!¶
What’s OpenVAS 2 Report¶
The idea is very simple:
- Take an OpenVAS report, in it horrible XML format.
- Convert it into an beautiful Excel, ready to give to your boss.
Why?¶
I’m security auditor and I really hate to pass OpenVAS XML report into to and Excel document. This is a work for a monkey, not for a human! (Yes: security auditors are humans too. I know, I know. It’s incredible)
So I started to develop this project and I thought share it for help other auditors that also hate make a monkey’s work.

This package are composed by 2 tools:
- openvas_to_document: This is the main program. You can use it to generate the Excel file.
- openvas_cutter: This is a facility for filter and crop some information from OpenVAS XML report.
