OpenVas Basic to Advanced With Kali Linux

Illustrates the GVM architecture for Greenborne Vulnerability Manager versions 20.08 and 21.04, detailing browser access via the Greenborne Security Assistant and command-line access via Greenborne Management Protocol clients.

Access in-app help and the user manual to learn about reports, dashboards, and resilience. Open the help icon, view per-tab manuals, and use the task wizard to create tasks.

Explore the open vars.org community forum to sign up, view FAQs, and find solutions for vulnerability tests by filtering categories and versions like CVM 20.08 or 21.04.

Learn how to find solved issues efficiently by filtering with category and tags in the Greenborne Professional edition, then use the tag solver to search keywords like 'connection refused'.

Openvas uses NVT scripts to detect vulnerabilities during scans, classifying findings by severity, family, and creation time, and presenting solution types to mitigate issues.

Identify a target's hardware, operating system, and applications via common platform enumeration (CPEs) in a Kali Linux OpenVAS scan, with vendor, product, version, language, and severity levels.

Explore the four main classes of oval definitions—vulnerability, compliance, inventory, and patch definition tests—and how they assess software presence, configurations, and required patches.

Learn how authenticated scans use credentials in OpenVAS to assess targets like Windows Server, using ssh, smb, and esxi credentials, and how to configure email reports and tasks.

Run a live test to determine if the host is online or offline by default. Use icmp ping, tcp service ping, tcp syn ping, and arp ping to assess status.

Create a new alert, name it, and set conditions such as task run status change to done or ticket received, choose delivery methods and options like severity and delta report.

Configure openvas default to detect vulnerabilities with and without cvar numbers, set host discovery with a network interface, and apply overrides, alterable task, and newest five report retention before saving.

Create and manage a container task in OpenVAS to group reports from multiple scans, import XML reports across offices, and organize them under a single container.

Install postfix on Kali Linux, configure the SMTP relay, and test email alerts to verify sending from the mail server.

Create and manage schedules for OpenVas scans by naming each schedule, setting the time zone, and choosing recurrence options from hourly to custom weekly or monthly with exact day selections.

Learn how OpenVAS scanners work in Kali Linux, noting community version limits on certificates and edits, while you verify and export scanners using host, port, and credentials.

Learn to filter vulnerabilities in OpenVas by creation date, including 2024, adjust page size, and sort by severity to view results such as Invictus efficiently.

Configure openvas for external access on the local network by binding to 0.0.0.0, restarting the server, and connecting to the greenborne security assistant via the LAN IP on port 9392.

Create and customize roles by cloning or editing predefined rules, assign users and permissions, manage create alert and schedule permissions, and grant group super permissions.

Create custom permissions in OpenVas by defining the permission name, description, resource type, subject type, and actions, then save to assign to a user, rule, or group.

Open the results and vulnerabilities sections to view all scans, compare with a single-scan report, and filter by severity to inspect vulnerabilities by name and host.
