Last updated: 2015-02-27

Components:

• openvas-libraries-7.0.7
• openvas-scanner-4.0.5
• openvas-manager-5.0.8
• greenbone-security-assistant-5.0.5
• openvas-cli-1.3.1

1. Install Debian 7.8.0
2. Download and run installation script (as root).

# wget http://avleonov.com/openvas_install.sh
# chmod +x openvas_install.sh
# ./openvas_install.sh

This script will install all needed software packages from Debian repository (~750 Mb), download  OpenVAS and nmap 5.51 sources, build and install OpenVAS and nmap from sources.
3. Restart OpenVAS. Script will update knowledge base and start OpenVAS.

# ./openvas_restart.sh

Known issues:

• openvas_restart.sh script sometimes freezes on "Data Base Updated". Ctrl + C and run openvas_restart.sh again.
• openvas-check-setup may find an error "The number in the OpenVAS Manager database is too low". Run openvas_restart.sh again.
• openvas-check-setup may find an error "openvasmd/openvassd in Not running". Try to wait 5 minutes and check with ./openvas/openvas-check-setup. If it is not working run openvas_restart.sh again.

4. Add new user

# ./openvas_add_user.sh

5. Connect to the scanner host with web-browser
