Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/greenbone/openvas-scanner.svg)](https://hub.docker.com/r/greenbone/openvas-scanner/)\n[![Docker Image Size](https://img.shields.io/docker/image-size/greenbone/openvas-scanner.svg?maxAge=2592000)](https://hub.docker.com/r/greenbone/openvas-scanner/)\n[![CI](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/actions/workflows/control.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/actions/workflows/control.yml?query=branch%3Amain)\n\nThis is the OpenVAS Scanner of the Greenbone Community Edition.\n\nIt is used for the Greenbone Enterprise appliances and is a full-featured\nscan engine that executes a continuously updated and extended feed of\nVulnerability Tests (VTs).\n\n## Releases\n\nAll [release files](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas/releases) are signed with\nthe [Greenbone Community Feed integrity key](https://community.greenbone.net/t/gcf-managing-the-digital-signatures/101).\nThis gpg key can be downloaded at https://www.greenbone.net/GBCommunitySigningKey.asc\nand the fingerprint is `8AE4 BE42 9B60 A59B 311C  2E73 9823 FAA6 0ED1 E580`.\n\n## Installation\n\nThis module can be configured, built and installed with following commands:\n\n    cmake .\n    make install\n\nFor detailed installation requirements and instructions, please see the file\n[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). The file also contains instructions for setting up\n`openvas` and for making the scanner available to other GVM modules.\n\nIf you are not familiar or comfortable building from source code, we recommend\nthat you use the Greenbone Enterprise TRIAL, a prepared virtual\nmachine with a readily available setup. Information regarding the virtual machine\nis available at \u003chttps://www.greenbone.net/en/testnow\u003e.\n\n## Rust Implementation\n\nThis repository also consists of a [rust project](rust/README.md) aiming to replace the current scanner stack\n(openvas-scanner, ospd-openvas, notus-scanner). It simplifies the use of the scanner and centralizes\neverything needed for scanning. Currently it uses the openvas-scanner as scan engine.\n\n## Docker, [Greenbone Community Containers](https://greenbone.github.io/docs/latest/22.4/container/)\n\nIf you want to use the docker files provided in this repository you can pull them from the [Greenbone registry](registry.community.greenbone.net/community/openvas-scanner:stable). You can also locally build them using:\n```\ndocker build -t \u003cimage-name\u003e -f .docker/prod.Dockerfile .\n```\nFor more information about building docker images, see \n[official man](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/).\nWe also provide a [fully containerized \nsolution](https://greenbone.github.io/docs/latest/22.4/container/)\nfor the Greenbone Community Edition.\n\n\u003e Please beware: The Greenbone Community Container are currently under development.\n\n## Support\n\nFor any question on the usage of `openvas` please use the [Greenbone\nCommunity Portal](https://community.greenbone.net/). If you found a problem\nwith the software, please [create an\nissue](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/issues) on GitHub. If you\nare a Greenbone customer you may alternatively or additionally forward your\nissue to the Greenbone Support Portal.\n\n## Maintainer\n\nThis project is maintained by [Greenbone AG](https://www.greenbone.net/).\n\n## Contributing\n\nYour contributions are highly appreciated. Please [create a pull\nrequest](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/pulls) on GitHub.\nRemember to commit the contribution agreement as explained in [RELICENSING](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/tree/main/RELICENSE) folder with your first PR.\nBigger changes should be discussed with the development team via the [issues section at GitHub](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/issues) first.\n\n## License\n\nThis repository consists of two scanner implementation, one in programming language C and one in programming language Rust.\n\nThis module except for the Rust-implementation in directory rust/ is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only.
