Automating the First Hours of My Internal Vulnerability Assessments

In this post, I'll share how I automated the first hour of my internal vulnerability assessment using several handy scripts which i crafted over the years and try to demonstrate the power of automation in streamlining the initial phase of the assessment process.

The Need for Automation

Internal vulnerability assessments are crucial for identifying weaknesses within network infrastructure before they can be exploited by malicious actors. However, the manual effort required to initiate scans, gather results, and perform preliminary analysis can be time-consuming, resource-intensive and are mostly repetitive. Automation offers a solution to this challenge, allowing me to kickstart the assessment process and focus my attention on critical analysis and remediation tasks.

Automating offers several benefits:
