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. To build a complete OpenVAS scanner installation, however, you have to compile and install the packages in the following sequence: 1. openvas-libraries 2. openvas-scanner 3. openvas-client The openvas-client GUI is needed to interact with the OpenVAS scanner, however there are some new optional modules: 1. openvas-manager for storing and organizing scans on a central server in a SQL database 2. openvas-administrator for User-, Feed- and Settings-Management 3. greenbone-security-assistant for a web-based Vulnerability Management This package provides the OpenVAS administrator together with an init script to start it at system startup.
