OVAL Interpreter
|
OVAL Repository |
OVAL Language |
| OVAL's reference interpreter
shows how: information can be collected from a computer; definitions can
be used to test the system for computer vulnerabilities, configuration issues, programs, and
patches; and results of the tests can be presented.
The interpreter source code is
also available. Read the license agreement.
|
Updated regularly, data files
may be used in the OVAL Interpreter as well as incorporated by vendors
into their vulnerability assessment and other information security products
and services
A bulk content download is also available. |
OVAL uses three main schemas:
OVAL System Characteristics Schema; OVAL Definition Schema, core and platform-specific;
and OVAL Results Schema.
OVAL definitions use the schemas to keep definitions
consistent and standardized for each supported platform.

Compatibility of their product or service to a specific set of definitions.
This
archive also includes schemas, definitions, interpreters,
data files, and interpreter source code from past versions of OVAL.
An archive of the deprecated SQL format material is also included.
