Description: OSP server implementation to allow GVM to remotely control an OpenVAS Scanner
This package contains an OSP server implementation to allow GVM to remotely
control OpenVAS.
.
It is a command line tool with parameters to start a daemon which keeps
waiting for instructions to update the feed of vulnerability tests and to
start a scan. The second part of the interface is the redis store where the
parameters about a scan task need to be placed and from where the results can
be retrieved, being the unique communication channel between OSPD-OpenVAS and
OpenVAS.
.
Once running, you need to configure OpenVAS for the Greenbone Vulnerability
Manager, for example via the web interface Greenbone Security Assistant. Then
you can create scan tasks to use OpenVAS.
