IP360 Tools: Free For All!
If you're looking for professional services on this topic or interested in other cybersecurity consulting services, please reach out to me via my Contact page to discuss further.
Last year, I wrote a couple articles on how to integrate Tripwire IP360 data into Splunk. These turned out to be very popular, with a number of folks reaching out to me for a copy of my IP360 Tools script that made all the magic happen. I hesitated to give the script out since it was originally developed while I was employed at a consulting firm and I wasn’t sure if it was truly mine to give.
However, I’ve always appreciated the free and open source community, especially within the security field. My own career has benefitted greatly from the use of free open source software and it always made me uneasy that I wasn’t sharing the script. I’ve since moved on from the consulting firm and they’ve given me permission to do as I please with the script. Given this, I have decided to make the IP360 Tools script freely available (yay!).
The script is provided as-is and I offer no support (unless you’ve got some money to burn!). I also have no plans to continue development. You’re welcome to use and modify it in any way you see fit.
Enjoy!

Good Evening,
I found your page and your articles as I have been researching for my graduate thesis project. I am working to develop a customized Decision Support System that pulls from a scanner such as Nessus. Do you happen to have any old reports or data from the scanner you used that I could look at so as to develop some a decision support system based on the fields and data base that the reports are made of?
Hi Josh — Unfortunately, I don’t have any old reports or data from the scanner, but it shouldn’t be difficult for you to generate them yourself. In fact, Tenable recently released “Nessus Essentials” that lets you run Nessus for whatever purpose against a limited set of IP addresses: https://www.tenable.com/products/nessus/nessus-essentials.
