SECMON – Infosec Watching Tool
Description
SECMON is a web-based tool for the automation of infosec watching and vulnerability management with a web interface.
A demo And discord channel is available

Features
- Mail alerting when a new CVE is published and which concerns your product list
- Mail alerting when a “cyber-security” news are published: new threats, recent attacks, events, etc.
- Visualize the high security risk products present on your IT infrastructure
- Download CVE Excel report by date range
- Display top cybersecurity subject (Light cyber landscape)
- Logs easy to integrate in a SIEM (verified on Splunk and Graylog)
- View the latest CVE and latest news related to cyber security are published
- Assign a buffer of management status of a CVE
- Search all the details of a CVE
- Check if there is an exploit on Github or Exploit-DB concerning a CVE
- Search for vulnerabilities for a specified product
- Manage your product list: search/add/delete a product, display your referenced product list
- Monitor the sources used by pollers
Email alerts can be sent in English or French. SECMON web UI now support multi user account.
CVE are polled using two methods of collection/correspondence:
- Keyword-based : allows you to be proactive on the retrieval of CVE by leaving a little bit of precision (no version check, just word matching) on the affected products (ex: “VMWare”, “Apache”).
- CPE based (Common Platform Enumeration) : allows the retrieval of CVE that only concern the product version entered (e.g. “Windows 10 1909”, “Apache 2.4.38”)
Requirements
SECMON requires registration on Github API for exploits retrieval. It also requires :
- OS : Linux-based system (tested on Debian 10)
- Environnement : Python 3 (tested on Python 3.9 and Python 3.8)
WARNING : Web UI credentials are hashed (SHA512 with salt), on the other hand, the Github API connection credentials and the application session key are neither encrypted nor hashed. All data is stored in an unencrypted sqlite database. A few advices :
- Allow access to this machine only to persons who are authorized to do so.
- Isolate the host machine from the rest.
- Use a dedicated server/VM or Docker container.
