Open-AudIT is a network auditing application. It is based on the scripting languages of PHP, Bash and VBScript. Open-AudIT can tell what is on your network, how it is configured and if there have been any changes. By being easily expandable the user community has grown to include over 25,000 users.[1] Main features include:
- Hardware and Software Audits
- Audit entire Windows Domain
- No Windows client required, uses WMI to connect
- Supports Linux
- Audits IP devices and other network equipment.
Background
Open-AudIT was originally a script written in 1999 by Mark Unwin to audit computers on a network. He identified the need to extend the script to include a query based, web interface and released the project to the open source community in 2005 under the aGPL v2 agreement.[2]
A major version release occurred in 2008 which updated much of the backend architecture, improved functionality and also changed to the aGPL v3 license.
In 2013, Opmantek acquired the rights to the intellectual property of Open-AudIT[1] - promising to keep it free and open source.
Requirements
It is available for download as a preconfigured virtual machine (running CentOS), a preconfigured portable XAMPP package (for Windows) or a zip archive (for use on any system meeting the above requirements).
License
Open-AudIT is licensed under the terms of the Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. Opmantek now provides Open-AudIT with commercial support after acquiring the intellectual property in early 2013
