OpenVAS

It is used for the Greenbone Enterprise appliances and is a full-featured scan engine that executes a continuously updated and extended feed of Vulnerability Tests (VTs). For detailed installation requirements and instructions, please see the file INSTALL.md. The file also contains instructions for setting up openvas and for making the scanner available to other GVM modules. If you are not familiar or comfortable building from source code, we recommend that you use the Greenbone Enterprise TRIAL, a prepared virtual machine with a readily available setup. Information regarding the virtual machine is available at . This repository also consists of a rust project aiming to replace the current scanner stack (openvas-scanner, ospd-openvas, notus-scanner). It simplifies the use of the scanner and centralizes everything needed for scanning. Currently it uses the openvas-scanner as scan engine. If you want to use the docker files provided in this repository you can pull them from the Greenbone registry at ghcr.io/greenbone/openvas-scanner:stable . You can also locally build them using: For more information about building docker images, see official man. We also provide a fully containerized solution for the Greenbone Community Edition. For any question on the usage of openvas please use the Greenbone Community Portal. If you found a problem with the software, please create an issue on GitHub. If you are a Greenbone customer you may alternatively or additionally forward your issue to the Greenbone Support Portal. Your contributions are highly appreciated.
