The resulting CPE can then be used with tools like [cve-search](https://github.com/cve-search/cve-search) or [vulnerability-lookup](https://github.com/cve-search/vulnerability-lookup) to perform actual searches using CPE names.

## Usage ## Usage
To use CPE guesser, you have to initialise the [Valkey](https://valkey.io/) database with `import.py`. To use CPE Guesser, you need to initialize the [Valkey](https://valkey.io/) database with `import.py`.
Then you can use the software with `lookup.py` to find the most probable CPE matching the keywords provided. Once initialized, you can use the software with `lookup.py` to find the most probable CPE matching the provided keywords.
Or by calling the Web server (After running `server.py`), example: `curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8000/search -d "{\"query\": [\"tomcat\"]}" | jq .` Alternatively, you can call the web server (after running `server.py`). For example:
```bash
