About OpenVAS NVT Feed

The OpenVAS project offers a public feed of Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs). Starting from September 10th, 2008, the feed contains all NASL plugins available in the OpenVAS source code repository and now contains more than 6000 plugins. It contains only signed files.

This feed is configured as default for OpenVAS Server. Read about NVT Feed Services on how to synchronize your OpenVAS Server with the OpenVAS NVT Feed.

The feed is usually updated every weekday. The files of the OpenVAS NVT Feed are signed by the "OpenVAS: Transfer Integrity" certificate. The presence of this signature does not indicate any judgement or quality control of the script itself. It is only intended to assist you in verifing the integrity of the NVT files after transfer. Thus, a valid signature only means that the script has not been modified on the way between the OpenVAS distribution point and your OpenVAS installation. See the notes at the bottom of the overview on Trusted NVTs for more information on this certificate.
