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 plugins. 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 + +You need rsync to use the openvas-nvt-sync update command. +This is the last release of openvas-plugins, next openvas-server and client +releases will no longer use this pacakge: the plugins will be downloaded +manually with the openvas-nvt-sync command. -- cgit v1.2.3
