-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 scanner. 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 client. You need GTK libraries and
-OpenSSL are highly recommended, both of them are avalaible from Slackware.
-
-As a last note, keep in mind that this is a major version transition: the
-older openvas-libnasl and openvas-plugins packages no longer exists,
-openvas-server has been replaced by the openvas-scanner package and there are
-the new optional modules. A straight upgradepkg (with removal of deprecated
-packages) *SHOULD* work but also consider to backup your old configuration and
-starting over from a fresh OpenVAS installation.
