This is the OpenVAS Scanner of the Greenbone Community Edition.



It is used for the Greenbone Enterprise appliances and is a full-featured

scan engine that executes a continuously updated and extended feed of

Vulnerability Tests (VTs).



## Releases



All [release files](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas/releases) are signed with

the [Greenbone Community Feed integrity key](https://community.greenbone.net/t/gcf-managing-the-digital-signatures/101).

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



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



    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

`openvas` and for making the scanner available to other GVM modules.



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 .



## Rust Implementation



This repository also consists of a [rust project](rust/README.md) aiming to replace the current scanner stack

(openvas-scanner, ospd-openvas, notus-scanner). It simplifies the use of the scanner and centralizes

everything needed for scanning. Currently it uses the openvas-scanner as scan engine.
