Vulhunter is an app for very specific audience. The targeted audience are IT related professionals majority of the content is important for System Administrators. The Motivation behind building an app was occurred when the company I worked for faced a hacking attack due to one of the apache module’s vulnerability. That event triggered an idea of Vulhunter.
Features
Vulhunter collects information about different server-side software’s vulnerabilities from websites such as NVD and CVE details. The core purpose of the app is to allow user’s to select softwares or operating system keywords from a set list which then becomes activate for notifications. Vulhunter servers continuously checks the feed content against the user’s selected keywords. If the vulnerability report description has a keyword which is selected by the user. The server will fire a notification to the specific user. The other information I wanted to add was a general information about the system’s security news, blog post aggregation and also reports from NVD feed etc. Despite, most of the information provided, Vulhunter doesn’t secure users from any 0 day attack. Also it won’t notify for vulnerabilities which aren’t being reported to our third-party feed sources. However, Vulhunter notifies the information which is available to it which helps user to be cautious. There aren’t much competitor in AppStore which provides similar level of information. (Similar Apps - NVD+, Vulnerabilities and iAssurance). These apps doesn’t provide personalised notifications with it.
