Re: [Openvas-discuss] Using OpenVAS in a windows-only environment

[Fábio Fernandes]

Paul i think that there ate 3 points in your question that are creating some 
ambiguity.
First you say that:

> We are a Microsoft shop with windows servers and workstations. I would

That is possible with OpenVAS or if you need professional support you can 
contract Greenbone that as Jan-Oliver said is the commercial vendor for OpenVAS.

From this part i suppose you want install it in Windows and that is not 
possible since OpenVAS is a Linux based solution.

This means that you need an Linux machine or Linux virtual machine if you only 
have Windows installations to run OpenVAS.
Although i think it will run better if it’s not running in an virtual machine. 
You can install OpenVAS on a separate Linux machine or buy one of Greenbone 
appliances that already have it installed and configured.
Alternatively you can use an Linux virtual machine and install OpenVAS on it 
(or use the one on the site although it is not recommended for production) or 
buy Greenbone virtual machine solution with OpenVAS already configured.
From an OpenVAS installation you can test Windows machines and different 
flavors of Linux for vulnerabilities.

I do realize that there is need to better communicate that the commercial
alternative to OpenVAS is the Greenbone product series, the Greenbone
Security Manager appliances.

After all, using OpenVAS as a start and when it comes to professional setup
not bying Greenbone does not help the OpenVAS community.

I have a couple of ideas how to improve the visibility of Greenbone as the
commercial vendor of OpenVAS and at the same time continue to provide a
transparent GPLed solution to the community. The first idea is to derive a
"Community Edition" from our GSM ONE to replace the "OpenVAS Demo VM". This
will make it far easier to try out OpenVAS at no costs and without any
obligations and at the same time provides a clear hint about the commercial
option.

run openvas.

or buy commercial product like tenable nessus
