Installing Openvas on Kali Linux
To install Openvas and its dependencies on our Kali Linux system run the following command:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade -y sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt install openvas
The next step is to run the installer, which will configure OpenVAS and download various network vulnerability tests (NVT) or signatures. Due to a large number of NVTs (50.000+), the setting process may take some time and consume a lot of data. In the test setup we used for this tutorial, the complete setup process took 10 minutes, which is not bad.
Run the following command to start the setup process:
gvm-setup
After the configuration process is complete, all the necessary OpenVAS processes will start and the web interface will open automatically. The web interface is running locally on port 9392 and can be accessed through https://localhost:9392. OpenVAS will also set up an admin account and automatically generate a password for this account which is displayed in the last section of the setup output:
