Hi, I have been using OpenVAS for a few weeks now and it seems great for showing vulnerability’s but I’d like to know what else it is able to scan for?
I have around 20 servers on my LAN I’d like scan for viruses and malware from OpenVAS every night say around 3am. Will OpenVAS do what I need? if not does anyone know if there’s an application on Kali Linux that would do what I need?
Also Is there a way to automatically update the feeds for OpenVAS in the software? or does it have to be done via cron jobs?
no. The Greenbone Community Edition is a framework for managing vulnerabilities of the hosts in your network. It’s not a firewall, web application scanner, intrusion detection system nor a virus scanner.
This is up to you but cron jobs are of course a feasible way.
