Cancerbero is a scan service engine based in Nmap. Allows to have a historical service/port snapshot of each host of a network range. It's a good tool for network administrators with a high number of host to take care.
Cancerbero 0.5 has been suppose a rethinking of the entire project. A lot things has change and a lot of work has been done. This are the most important changes:
- New Web Interface (GUI) write from scratch: improve the experience and include a lot of new features.
- Modular system: now scan engine is completely independent of the GUI.
- Multisensor support: you can set as much sensors as needed.
- Multirange support: no limitation in the number of ranges to scan.
- Autopurge database support: now the number of scans to store can be delimited. Old scans will be quietly delete.
- New configuration system: almost everything is configured from GUI now.
- New Delete support: sensors, ranges, hosts, scans and users and be deleted on your needs.
- New White-List system: a host can be added to the White-List from host info page and from sensor conf page.
- Search host improvements: now is case sensitive.
- Live info of each sensor in index page: status, action, num scans, last sweep, next sweep.
- New stats system: General, by Service, by Port, By OS.
- Rescan support: now force a scan of a host is possible.
- MySQL 5 support: since it keeps working with MySQL 4.1, now cancerbero can run fairly in MySQL 5
- New database scheme: deep changes has been done for new features support. Upgrading from 0.4.x is included.
- Logs improvements: a standard format is used now. Debug support has been improved as well.
