OVAL Results

Next I started working on the system_info section of the results XML. One of the things I need to have do is get a list of interfaces on a machine and collect [...]

Validating OVAL XML

Been working on trying to have Sussen validate OVAL XML definition files. This should have been pretty straightforward:

Console.WriteLine (e.Exception.Message);

XmlValidatingReader vr = new XmlValidatingReader (reader);
XmlSchemaCollection sc = new [...]

Man pages and OVAL

In OVAL news, I’ve been tinkering on support for [...]

I released LAT v0.5.3 today. Grab a fresh copy from the project site.
