searcch-importer documentation¶
searcch-importer (https://gitlab.flux.utah.edu/searcch/importer) is a
tool that imports cybersecurity software metadata, analyzes artifact
source files to extract more metadata, and exports curated artifact
information to the SEARCCH hub—a cybersecurity artifact index. An
artifact is a research product—a codebase, a data set, a
publication, a set of experiments, etc. The goal of the SEARCCH project
is to provide a powerful index of cybersecurity artifacts.
The searcch-importer is intended to function both in standalone mode
(e.g. on a contributor’s local machine), or within the SEARCCH portal.
This documentation focuses on running the searcch-importer in
standalone mode.
Currently, the searcch-importer can import from Github and Zenodo,
and can export to a flattened JSON document. (Eventually it will export
to the SEARCCH Hub as well.)
