Very high NDV API call rate

[sergeykad]

NDV API Documentation recommends calling the API no more than once every two hours, while the container calls it every two minutes. It can create a DDoS attack if enough people use this project.

There is also no easily accessible way to configure it. Exposing the cron configuration as an environment variable can be helpful.

Yes, thats true. I changed some things and added a pull request, but nobody take care. So I released my fork to make it work for my purposes:

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/nauni1977/owasp-db-cache/general

• database will be reused and not build at every start of the container; drop it if SQL-Files change
• you can define the call rate (default 1 per hour)

I use normally the command to start:

docker run --rm --name owasp-db -p 3306:3306 -v owasp-db:/var/lib/mysql -v owasp-config:/var/lib/owasp-db-cache -e NVD_API_KEY=<add your api key> -e UPDATE_INTERVALL="0/5 * * * *" nauni1977/owasp-db-cache:10.0.1

If you are interessted I will add some documentation - for now it's only used by myself.

If the project is interessted to add my changes - please tell me and I will add a new pull request.

Best regards, Oli
