Future Changes

Web UI

One of the main updates I am seeking to add is a web user interface for the application. This will provide the same functionality as the typical GUI interface, but will be available using a web browser at a URL like http://localhost:5000/

Rest API Functions

After the Web User Interface is created, I am going to see about making this a client/server type application as well with a full REST API schema available for use. This will allow the application to be utilized across an entire organization.

Add Cancel Button

Right now, once a process is underway there is no way to cancel it. Part of this is because of the multi-threaded libraries and configurations in use. I am going to work on adding the ability to 'STOP' a process mid-way incase settings or additional files need to be added to the workload.

ACAS XCCCDF/SCAP Parsing

Right now, the only way to parse SCAP scan files is via the SPAWAR created SCAP Compliance Checker scanning tool. This tool outputs SCAP Scan results in a specific format (XCCDF). ACAS is capable of performing SCAP scans as well, but the resulting scan file format does not match the typical SCAP or ACAS format. I am working to add this additional feature in the next release.
