The Fossies Software Archive - linux/misc/openvas

OpenVAS stands for Open Vulnerability Assessment System and is a network security scanner with associated tools like a graphical user fontend (a fork of Nessus that is available now under a proprietary license). The core is a server component with a set of network vulnerability tests (NVTs) to detect security problems in remote systems and applications.

The framework is part of Greenbone Networks' commercial vulnerability management solution from which developments are contributed to the Open Source community.

A hint from the OpenVAS pages: The current release of OpenVAS Server still conflicts for some file with a installation of Nessus. Therefore you should either removed Nessus from your system or use "--prefix" to define a different location for installation.
