To quickly get started with its scans,

  • install the following required dependencies: nmap >= 7.80 ncrack >= 0.7
  • start a vulnerable application that can be identified by it, e.g. an unauthenticated Jupyter Notebook server. The easiest way is to use a docker image: docker run –name unauthenticated-jupyter-notebook -p 8888:8888 -d jupyter/base-notebook start-notebook.sh –NotebookApp.token=”
  • execute the following command: bash -c "$(curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/tsunami-security-scanner/master/quick_start.sh)"

The quick_start.sh script performs the following tasks:

  • Clone the google/tsunami-security-scanner and google/tsunami-security-scanner-plugins repos into $HOME/tsunami/repos directory.
  • Compile all Google Tsunami plugins and move all plugin jar files into $HOME/tsunami/plugins directory.
  • Compile the it scanner Fat Jar file and move it into $HOME/tsunami directory.
