Notes of a Junior on the Path to Oracle Mastery
On this blog I am writing about thoughts, solutions, failures and pitfalls on the path to Oracle Mastery. It’s still a long way to go. On this blog, the main focus is learning Oracle.
perfstat/perfstat, OScanner reveals them all

Unfortunately, creating database accounts like “create user test identified by test” is common practice. Leaving default accounts with default passwords open is as common too. OScanner reveals those weak points mercilessly.

OScanner can be downloaded here. Installation is easy: unzip it. Since it is written in java it can be run on a variety of platforms. Using OScanner is as easy as installing it:
C:\Programme\oscanner> scanner.bat -s 192.168.2.3

OScanner saves its reports in xml files. The xml files can be displayed as a tree by OScanner Report Viewer:
C:\Programme\oscanner> reportviewer.exe oscanner_192_168_2_3_report.xml
I don’t like the viewer. I use OScanner like this:
C:\Programme\oscanner> scanner.bat -s 192.168.2.3 > out.txt
Oscanner is a great little tool, but documentation is poor, actually there is no documentation at all.
