This article mainly introduces how to run and use the OpenVAS client, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!

Once the scanner daemon is running, you can start a client and connect to the scanner. We have installed the client on the same host as the scanner, but you can also install the client on any host you want and connect to the scanner remotely. Now, let's run the client:

$OpenVAS-Client

This starts the client and displays:

At this point, you can select File= > Connect to connect to the scanner daemon of OpenVAS:

You will be prompted to specify the IP address of the host running the scanner daemon (the daemon runs on TCP port 9390, so you need to make sure that the port is open on any firewall that can be affected). In our example, we will connect to the local machine, so there is no need to worry about this. You also need to provide the user name and password you created earlier.

Once you have connected to the OpenVAS scanner daemon, you can start the scan. The easiest way to start is to use the scanner assistant, which you can access from the client's file menu to specify your target scanning host while starting the scanner assistant.

This allows you to perform the scan and view the results report in the OpenVAS client.

OpenVAS resources

We have made a quick introduction to OpenVAS. You can also explore many other features, including writing your own network vulnerability tests and extending OpenVAS's capabilities by using new manager and administrator modules.

If you have problems with OpenVAS, you can refer to OpenVAS Compendium for more information (although some documents are still for version 2.0.0 and have not been upgraded based on version 3.0.0). You can also get help on OpenVAS mailing list. If you can't find the answer to the question, you can use OpenVAS bug tracker to record it.

OpenVAS is also in an active development process. You can learn the new features and directions of OpenVAS by reading Roadmap, and you should subscribe to OpenVAS-Announcement mailing list for more.
