How to use the search grammar in the search fields in order to find assets, vulnerabilities or activity log events.
Search Grammar
Delve allows you to pass custom search queries to refine current view results using the following operators. Query examples for each context are provided.
Minus Sign
Use the minus sign in order to find items that exclude a particular word or words.
Minus sign can prefix any query.
For instance, if you want "example" but exclude ".net" you can use the following query:
example -.net
Double Quotes
Use double quotes in order to find items that contain an exact word or phrase.
Quotes may be used to match items with multiple words.
"example.com"
"some phrases to match"
Custom query structure
You can filter items with the custom query with the following syntax <OPERATOR>:<OPERAND>
Operators can be anything valid for the current context.
Operand contain the word or words to search for.
For instance, you can find all the servers that have the 22/tcp port open but not matching a specific tag:
port:22/tcp -tag:"My Tag"
Comparators
You can use query operator with the following structure <OPERATOR>:<OPERAND><COMPARATOR><VALUE>
Supported operators are: =, >, <, >= and <=.
A comparator must follow an operator value.
Value may be a word or words with quotes.
For instance, you can look for specific software versions using comparators:
software:nginx>1.0
software:"Microsoft Windows"<10
software:ssh="2.0-OpenSSH_7.2p2"
Logical operators
You can use logical operators while doing a search such as AND, OR, NOT with or without the combination of parentheses.
For instance, you can look for any banner that mentions "ssh" for machines of two specific OSes:
(os:Ubuntu OR os:windows) AND banner:ssh
Or combine these operators to look for new vulnerabilities excluding certain network segments:
is:new AND NOT (192.168.10.0/24 OR 192.168.20.0/24)
Search Operators in their specific view context
Some search queries only apply to a specific view in Delve, here are examples of the supported search queries in their context.
Each of the following query example can be combined to refine your results.
Find Servers running nginx greater than 1.0 with the "production" tag and using the Edge Service named Office:
software:nginx>1.0 tag:production edge:Office
Find Vulnerabilities related to a specific CVE number but excluding a certain IP range.
CVE-2017-1020 -192.168.0.0/24
Find Vulnerabilities related to a specific CVE number but excluding a certain OS name.
cve:CVE-2017-7679 -os:"Debian Linux 8.0"
Find Servers with port 4422 open, that run a specific OpenSSH version, with the "PROD" tag and not running nginx later than 1.11:
port:4422/tcp=open software:ssh="2.0-OpenSSH_7.4p1" tag:PROD -software:nginx>1.11
Find Websites with an IP ending in 240 that run OpenSSL later than 1.0.1:
ip:*.*.*.240 software:OpenSSL>=1.0.1
