 # OpenVAS [](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas/releases) [](https://codecov.io/gh/greenbone/openvas) [](https://circleci.com/gh/greenbone/openvas/tree/openvas-21.04) This is the Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner (OpenVAS) of the Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) Solution. It is used for the Greenbone Security Manager appliances and is a full-featured scan engine that executes a continuously updated and extended feed of Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs). ## 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 Security Manager TRIAL (GSM TRIAL), a prepared virtual machine with a readily available setup. Information regarding the virtual machine is available at <https://www.greenbone.net/en/testnow>. ## Support For any question on the usage of `openvas` please use the [Greenbone Community Portal](https://community.greenbone.net/c/gse). If you found a problem with the software, please [create an issue](https://github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner/issues) on GitHub. If you are a Greenbone customer you may alternatively or additionally forward your issue to the Greenbone Support Portal. ## Maintainer This project is maintained by [Greenbone Networks GmbH](https://www.greenbone.net/). ## Contributing Your contributions are highly appreciated.
