OpenVAS Toolchain for Network Vulnerability Tests Established and Stable, Now Focussing on Tests Development and Documentation
In July 2008 the OpenVAS developer team finished the update cycle of the 1.0 release including all four server modules and the client. The most work during this update cycle went into cleanups and support for RPM and Debian packagers. The number of necessary bug-fixes remained pleasing low. OpenVAS installation packages are readily available for various platforms: OpenSUSE, Fedora, Mandrake, FreeBSD and Gentoo. Debian and Ubuntu are in the works. OpenVAS-Client is additionally available for MS Windows operating systems. The OpenVAS developer team has started creating a comprehensive documentation for the whole toolchain; the next major challenge for the project is now to extend the range of the vulnerability tests for present and upcoming CVEs, BIDs etc. It is a fundamental goal of the OpenVAS project team to accompany the Free Software OpenVAS network security scanner licensend under GNU GPL with a feed of vulnerability tests being Open Source and readily available for everyone as well. Additional contributors are welcome to join the OpenVAS developer team.
