"Since we launched our free vulnerability
database tool back in May 2005 we have had
well over 7000 downloads. The feedback we
have been getting has been very positive
indeed.
The tool now features in security live CD's
such as the 'Protech One' distro from techm4asters.org
and is also on the curriculam for the CEH
(certified ethical hacker) course. Numerous
white papers also mention the tool and rate
it as important as visiting websites such
as SecurityFocus.com and USCert.org when
doing vulnerability research.
We'd like to thank everyone for taking
time to check out our tool".

Due
to the size of the files, we have
compressed the files using bzip2
therefore you will need a bzip2
compatible utility. A free bzip2

Installing
and using the tool
|
Downloading
the GUI
To
download our beta GUI, simply click the
download button and save it to your PC.
Using a zip utility of your choice, extract
the files to your PC, there is no installtion
required, a folder called 'Hackerstorm'
will be copied with the file.
To start
using the GUI
To begin using the GUI, open 'Start.html'
in the Hackerstorm folder with your browser.
You will need flashplayer 7 and above.
If you dont have flashplayer 7, please
visit www.macromedia.com, it only takes
a few moments to install.
Updating
the XML Database
With the GUI open in your browser, click
'Update' to download the latest xml files.
The files are compressed and should be
extracted to the Hackerstorm folder. Once
extracted you will see a new file called
vendorlist.xml and a directory called
xmls.
If you have problems updating the xml
database in the GUI, you can get it here.
Dont forget to overwrite all files when
extracting the xml data!!
