An OpenVas vulnerability scan is an open source all in one vulnerability scan that tests for open ports and then tests any services found using a massive database of known vulnerabilities. Originally based on Nessus the formerly open source scanning software. OpenVas is a powerful option for performing vulnerability scans.
Even if you use other commercial scan services and products such as Qualys, GFI, Saint, HackerGuardian or AlertSite, having a free and open option as a backup is a great way to get an independent second opinion and review of your security status.
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.
Note that you must have permission to scan the host you nominate. HackerTarget.com will not be held responsible for any problems arising from this scanning service. We make no guarantees on this service. It is possible that automated security scans will upset listening services, fill up log files and trigger Intrusion Detection / Prevention Systems.
