For security engineers who need to interact with a Rapid7 Nexpose console, the nexpose-security-console gem is a command line utility that manage (e.g. create, list, update, and remove) the following entities: - sites, - scans, - assets, - asset groups, - reports, - vulnerabilities - etc…
I need to delete ~ 100 thousands assets from a group asset. The web GUI only allows to delete 500 at a time. Hence, nexpose-security-console was born.
You can get help on available commands.
