Description : remote network security auditor - scanner
Feature
.
The Open Vulnerability Assessment System is a modular security auditing
tool, used for testing remote systems for vulnerabilities that should be
fixed.
.
It is made up of two parts: a scan server, and a client. The scanner/daemon,
openvassd, is in charge of the attacks, whereas the client,
OpenVAS-Client, provides an X11/GTK+ user interface.
.
This package provides the scanner.
This package used to be in Debian, and furthermore it is available in Kali. I will start from those packages.
