OVAL Sample Kit Survey

UPDATE 2: The OVAL samples are ready in the modSIC full installation package.

UPDATE: Thanks for everybody who submitted a suggestion in our survey. Now we are preparing the OVAL Definitions Samples based on them.

For the modSIC project, we plan on creating a “sample kit” for users just starting out with the OVAL standard.

This kit is something we’ve wanted for a while now. We’ll create a few original OVAL Definitions that are both simple and objective, allowing modSIC users to immediately request collections.

We need to know what specialists in various fields hope to analyze through OVAL. We know that most are unaware of the possibilities (and limitations) of this language and we’d like to let you know that for the purposes of this survey this is a good thing. We hope to get back examples of requests that do not take into consideration the current solution.

modSIC 1.7 on the way!

To modSIC users and the entire OVAL community: We are finishing up development of the release 1.7 of modSIC Service, including some interesting features:

  • We are preparing a dedicated connector. From now on we will versioning this Connector API separately from the modSIC Service.
  • modSIC Service now prevents multiple assessments from taking place on the same target machine and periodically reschedules other requests.
  • A great (yet simple) graphical user interface was created for sending requests to a modSIC server.

Many other improvements are on the way. Stay tuned.
