-OpenVAS stands for Open Vulnerability Assessment System and is a network
-security scanner with associated tools like a graphical user front-end. The
-core component is a server with a set of network vulnerability tests (NVTs)
-to detect security problems in remote systems and applications.
-
-OpenVAS products are Free Software under GNU GPL and a fork of Nessus.
-
-This package provides the OpenVAS server. To build OpenVAS server, you
-have to compile and install the packages in the the following sequence:
- 1. openvas-libraries
- 2. openvas-libnasl
- 3. openvas-server
- 4. openvas-plugins
-
-To run OpenVAS server at startup use something like this in your rc.local:
-
-# Start openvasd if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.openvasd ]; then
- /etc/rc.d/rc.openvasd start
-fi
-
-and something smilar in your rc.local_shutdown to stop the service. Beware
-it can take sometime to load all the plugins.
