Enhancing vulnerability identification with AI

In this section, we’ll set the stage for using AI to query pentest data and make decisions. We’ll focus on converting data into a format that’s best for use in training our AI and creating knowledge bases.

RAGFlow doesn’t accept XML data; I’ve found that the best format for use with RAGFlow knowledge bases is tab-separated values (TSV).

The first source of data we want to add is from The Exploit Database. This database is available online at https://www.exploit-db.com as well as via the searchsploit program in Kali Linux.

The GitLab repository for The Exploit Database contains a CSV file that is a complete reference to every exploit found in both the online version and the terminal with searchsploit. Since the data is in CSV format, we’ll need to convert it to TSV before it’s usable with RAGFlow. Run the following command in your terminal:

curl -s https://gitlab.com/exploit-database...
