Vulners-Scanner : Vulnerability Scanner Based On Vulners.com Audit API

Vulners-Scanner is a PoC host-based vulnerability scanner, which uses vulners.com API. Detects operating system, collects installed packages and checks vulnerabilities in it. It currently support collecting packages for Debian-based (debian, kali, kali) and Rhel-based (redhat, centos, fedora) operating systems.

Experimental support of detecting vulnerabilities in running docker containers (only advanced script). Need to activate it changing checkDocker=False to checkDocker=True in linuxScanner.py
