Irena Bojanova, Inventor/Creator, PI & Lead, NIST Bugs Framework (BF), 2014 – ~~~ #

The BFVUL Types API generates the BF Types for the provided BF Vulnerability Specification(s).

• BF Vulnerability Specifications with added BF Class, Bug, Fault, Error, Final Error, and Attribute Types as applicable → Key required:

  https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF/BFVUL/BFTypes?key=YOUR_KEY
  

• Programatically → Key required:
  

  C#

  HttpClient client = new HttpClient() { BaseAddress = new Uri("https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF") };
  
  //replace YOUR_USER_NAME and YOUR_KEY
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("user", YOUR_USER_NAME);
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("key", YOUR_KEY);
  
  //replace YOUR_FILES_NAMES
  string[] fileNames = YOUR_FILES_NAMES;
  
  var content = new MultipartFormDataContent();
  foreach (var fileName in fileNames)
      content.Add(new StreamContent(File.OpenRead(fileName)), "files", Path.GetFileName(fileName));
  
  var response = await client.PostAsync("BFVUL/BFTypes/api", content);
  response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
  var zipData = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
  
  //replace YOUR_FOLDER
  zipData.CopyTo(File.Create(Path.Combine(YOUR_FOLDER, "bfv.zip")));
