#Kekkan

Kekkan is a parser and ActiveRecord database for NVD version 2.0 CVE and CPE XML files. The CVE feed can be found on the NVD here.

The name comes from the Japanese word for 'flaw/defect'.

##Ruby Keigan has been tested with ruby-1.9.2-p320, ruby-1.9.3-p125. Please try to use one of these versions if possible. I recommend using RVM to setup your ruby environment you can get it here.

Kekkan relies heavily on RubyGems to install other dependencies I highly recommend using it. RubyGems is included by default in the 1.9.x versions of Ruby.

• rails
• yaml
• nokogiri

Installation is really easy just gem install!

% gem install kekkan

% kekkan --create-config
% $EDITOR kekkan.cfg
% kekkan --create-tables

1. Generate the kekkan.cfg file.
2. Edit the kekkan.cfg file, filling in the variables as needed.
3. Migrate the database schema.

% kekkan nvdcve-2.0-2012.xml [nvdcve-2.0-2011.xml ...]

1. Parse the files by passing their names on the command line.

The data can be queried with a built in console or with an external database viewer. The data is mostly for consumption from another program.
