The Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) is a framework of several
|
|
services and tools offering a comprehensive and powerful vulnerability scanning
|
|
and vulnerability management solution.
|
|
|
|
The OpenVAS Manager is a layer between the OpenVAS Scanner and various client
|
|
applications such as the web client GSA (Greenbone Security Assistant), the
|
|
command line client omp (of openvas-cli) and the classic application GSD
|
|
(Greenbone Security Desktop). Among other features, it adds server-side
|
|
storage of scan results and it removes the need for a scan client to keep the
|
|
connection open until the scan finishes. All communication between OpenVAS
|
|
Manager and its clients is done via the XML-based OpenVAS Management Protocol
|
|
(OMP).
