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

Web Server (e.g. Apache)
PHP
MySQL
Nmap

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).

gollark: <@318817623590830080> why not just directly send the string of DFPWM data?

gollark: Which is a minor efficiency improvement which isn't hugely useful in most code.

gollark: There's not much point, in my opinion, of using the slightly shorter forms in the first place, but eh.

gollark: You're basically just saying "turnleft" (the variable), which doesn't mean anything, not "call turnleft".

gollark: But you did *not* call `turnleft` and all that stuff, just write it in a line, which is not valid syntax.
