About OpenVas

OpenVas is an open source vulnerability scanner that checks a system for security holes using a database of over 20’0000 known vulnerabilities. The full OpenVas suite consists of a number of components that provide a framework for management of a complete vulnerability management solution.

If you use commercial vulnerability scanner services and products such as Qualys, GFI, Saint, HackerGuardian or AlertSite, having a free and open option is a great way to get an independent second opinion. Best practice vulnerability scanning dictates the use of more than one scanning engine.

This is a great way to test an Internet connected server or firewall for open ports and the services that are running on those open ports, this is one of our longer scan options so after kicking off the scan be patient while you wait for your results.
