​
How It Works

​
Update Mechanism

The script uses a subroutine that:
  1. Downloads the latest version from GitHub
  2. Overwrites the local file
  3. Maintains silent operation with curl -s flag
@echo off
setlocal

call :actualizar nmap_scan.bat
call :actualizar nessus_scan.bat
call :actualizar openvas_scan.bat
# ... (all scripts)

pause
EXIT /B 0

​
Download Source

All scripts are downloaded from the official SVM GitHub repository: 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/master/
This ensures:
  • Latest stable versions
  • Verified and tested code
  • Official distribution channel

​
Requirements

​
Dependencies

  • curl.exe - Must be present in the same directory as update_all_scripts.bat
  • Internet Connection - Required to access GitHub
  • Write Permissions - Script directory must be writable

​
Network Requirements

  • Outbound HTTPS access to GitHub
  • No proxy configuration needed (uses system proxy if configured)
  • Port 443 (HTTPS) must be accessible

​
Execution Details

​
Silent Mode

The script uses curl’s -s (silent) flag to suppress progress output: 
"%~dp0curl.exe" -s -o %1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...
This provides:
  • Clean console output
  • Only shows “Actualizando [filename]…” messages
  • No transfer statistics or progress bars

​
File Overwrite

The -o flag overwrites existing files without confirmation: 
-o nmap_scan.bat
Important: This replaces local modifications. Always backup customized scripts before updating.

​
Update Frequency

  • Production Environments - Monthly updates
  • Testing Environments - Weekly updates
  • After Bug Reports - Immediate update when fixes are released
  • Major Releases - Check changelog before updating

​
Version Tracking

The script does not track versions automatically. To verify updates: 
# Check file modification dates
dir /T:W
Or use Git to track changes: 
git diff nmap_scan.bat

​
Backup Before Update

Create backups of customized scripts: 
# Create backup directory
mkdir backup_%DATE%

# Copy all .bat files
copy *.bat backup_%DATE%\

# Run update
update_all_scripts.bat

​
Custom Scripts Protection

If you have custom scripts in the same directory:
  1. Use Different Names - Custom scripts won’t be overwritten
  2. Separate Directory - Keep custom scripts elsewhere
  3. Version Control - Use Git to track local changes

​
Selective Updates

To update specific scripts only, modify the update script: 
@echo off
setlocal

REM Update only network scanning scripts
call :actualizar nmap_scan.bat
call :actualizar nmap_scan_remote.bat

REM Update only mobile scripts
call :actualizar apktool_decode_local.bat
call :actualizar mobsf.bat

pause
EXIT /B 0

:actualizar
echo Actualizando %1...
"%~dp0curl.exe" -s -o %1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/master/%1
EXIT /B 0

​
Self-Update

The script updates itself: 
call :actualizar update_all_scripts.bat
This ensures the update mechanism stays current with any new scripts added to the repository.

​
Verification

​
Verify Update Success

After running the update script: 
# Check file timestamps
dir *.bat /O:D

# Recent files indicate successful update

​
Test Updated Scripts

Run a simple test after updating: 
# Test a scanner script
nmap_scan.bat --help

# Test installation script
install_upgrade_tools_local.bat

​
Troubleshooting

​
curl.exe Not Found

Issue: The system cannot find curl.exe Solution: 
# Verify curl.exe exists in script directory
dir curl.exe

# Download curl for Windows if missing
# https://curl.se/windows/

​
Download Failures

Issue: Scripts fail to download Solution: 
# Test connectivity
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/master/nmap_scan.bat

# Check proxy settings
echo %HTTP_PROXY%
echo %HTTPS_PROXY%

# Use verbose mode to debug
curl -v -o test.bat https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...

​
Permission Denied

Issue: Cannot overwrite files Solution: 
# Run as Administrator
Right-click update_all_scripts.bat → Run as administrator

# Or check file attributes
attrib *.bat

# Remove read-only if needed
attrib -r *.bat

​
Partial Updates

Issue: Some scripts update, others fail Solution: 
# Run update again (safe to run multiple times)
update_all_scripts.bat

# Check specific file manually
curl -o nmap_scan.bat https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/master/nmap_scan.bat

​
Network Firewall/Proxy Issues

Issue: Corporate firewall blocks GitHub Solution: 
# Configure proxy in curl
set HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:8080
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:8080

# Or use proxy flag directly
curl -x http://proxy.company.com:8080 -o script.bat https://...

​
Manual Update Alternative

If automatic updates fail, manually download from GitHub: 
1. Visit: https://github.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm
2. Navigate to desired script
3. Click "Raw" button
4. Save file to SVM directory

​
Change Log Checking

Before updating, check the repository for changes: 
GitHub Repository: https://github.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm
Commits: https://github.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/commits/master
Releases: https://github.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/releases

​
Post-Update Tasks

After successful update:
  1. Review Changes - Check GitHub commits for new features
  2. Test Critical Scripts - Verify scanners still work
  3. Update Documentation - Note any new parameters or requirements
  4. Notify Team - Inform users of updates
  5. Update Configuration - Adjust for any API changes

​
Rollback Procedure

If updates cause issues: 
# Restore from backup
copy backup_%DATE%\*.bat .

# Or download specific version from GitHub
# https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/<commit-hash>/script.bat

​
Update Script Output

Expected output during execution: 
Actualizando nmap_scan.bat...
Actualizando nmap_scan_remote.bat...
Actualizando nessus_scan.bat...
Actualizando nessus_get_policies.bat...
Actualizando acunetix_scan.bat...
...
Actualizando update_all_scripts.bat...
Press any key to continue . . .

​
Integration with Scheduled Tasks

Automate updates with Windows Task Scheduler: 
# Create scheduled task
schtasks /create /tn "SVM Update" /tr "C:\SVM\update_all_scripts.bat" /sc weekly /d SUN /st 02:00

# Or use Task Scheduler GUI for more options

​
Security Considerations

  • Source Trust - Scripts download from official GitHub repository only
  • HTTPS - All downloads use encrypted connections
  • No Execution - Update script only downloads files, doesn’t execute them
  • Verification - Review changes before using updated scripts in production
  • install_upgrade_tools_local.bat - Install/upgrade security tools locally
  • install_upgrade_tools_remoto.bat - Install/upgrade tools on remote systems
  • install_upgrade_tools_remoto.sh - Linux installation script

Notes

  • The script always downloads the latest master branch version
  • Updates are non-interactive and fully automated
  • Script execution is safe to run multiple times
  • No version checking - always downloads latest version
  • Compatible with all Windows versions that support batch files
  • Requires curl.exe for Windows (included with SVM distribution)
