The Greenbone Vulnerability Manager is the central management service between

security scanners and the user clients.



It manages the storage of any vulnerability management configurations and of the

scan results. Access to data, control commands and workflows is offered via the

XML-based Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP). Controlling scanners like

*[OpenVAS](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas)* is done via the Open Scanner

Protocol (OSP).

This gpg key can be downloaded at https://www.greenbone.net/GBCommunitySigningKey.asc

and the fingerprint is `8AE4 BE42 9B60 A59B 311C  2E73 9823 FAA6 0ED1 E580`.



## Installation and Usage



This module can be configured, built and installed with following commands:



```sh

cmake .

make install

```



For detailed installation requirements and instructions, please see the file

[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). The file also contains instructions for setting up

`gvmd` and for connecting `gvmd` to vulnerability scanners and to the

*[GSA](https://github.com/greenbone/gsa)* web interface.



In case everything was installed using the defaults, then starting the manager

daemon can be done with this simple command:



```sh

gvmd

```



To see all available command line options of gvmd enter this command:

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 .
