vDNA Crosslinks

vDNA Crosslinks allows you to gather +80.000 security alerts data from Security-Database and export it as JSON. Export provide related alert information. By that we mean, all alerts linked to the first one at specified depth. We limit the depth from 0 (single) to 4, but on demand, we can override this value.
For each node, we provide the Alert Name (id), severity, vendor, published date, and the number of links.

On this exemple, we use D3.js library and grapher.js to manipulate and represent links bewteen alerts and severity propagation. Hope you'll like it.

Security-Database provides this information for free for anybody who want to play with, make graphs, stats, publish or anything else. Hope you'll enjoy playing with it and perhaps, let you have some idea ;)
