  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TESTING AND ANALYZING VULNERABILITIES OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS BASED ON EXPLOITS OF THE VULNERABILITIES
    Publication number: 20110191854
    Abstract: A security tool can identify vulnerabilities in a computing system and determine a risk level of the vulnerabilities. The security tool can determine the risk level based on exploits associated with the vulnerabilities. The security tool can determine the risk level based on factors associated with the exploits such as whether an exploit exists, a rank of the exploit, a number of exploits that exist for the vulnerability, a difficulty to identify whether the exploit exists, and an effect of the exploit on the vulnerability. The security tool can a report identifying the vulnerabilities of the computing system, the exploits associated with the vulnerabilities, and the risk level of the vulnerabilities. The report can also include links to information about the exploits.
