Omega DB Scanner Standalone is a free Windows tool for auditing security and assessing vulnerabilities in Oracle databases. It checks privileges, audit settings, authentication, user profiles, security-related system parameters, backup and availability, and general security, using more than 250 controls. The scanner is agentless and accesses the database in read-only mode. Users can adjust settings for a target environment and set exceptions for individual controls. They can scan a whole database, rerun selected checks, or run one vulnerability scan, then compare results with a baseline. Results can be saved or loaded in XML and exported to XLS. The tool integrates with Splunk SIEM. Its standalone edition runs on a user’s PC and can also operate from a USB drive. Listed database support covers Oracle Database 10g R1/R2, 11g R1/R2, and 12c with traditional auditing only.
