(by Jan-Oliver Wagner)
This compendium was compiled by people involved in the OpenVAS project. The intention is to provide a comprehensive documentation for all aspects of network vulnerability scanning with OpenVAS.
This ranges from instructions on how to use the OpenVAS-Client graphical user interface, run specific test methods and write NASL vulnerability tests up to details on the internal architecture of the actual scan server software.
This compendium is permanently being improved and extended. You may find some sections not comprehensive enough and you may miss some topics entirely.
Further authors are welcome and if you identify important aspects that need to be added here, please coordinate with the OpenVAS team if you plan to get an author for this compendium. It is important that you coordinate before starting to write to avoid concurrent works on the same subject.
The source format of this document is LaTeXwith HyperLaTeXextensions for HTML output. The sources are available as module "openvas-compendium" at the OpenVAS development platform1.
