installing OpenVAS

[m-1-k-3]

Hey,

include the following source into your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http : / / apt[dot]intevation[dot]de/ lenny openvas

This repository is not maintained from the BT team! If it breaks your system help yourself!

apt-get update
apt-get install openvas-server openvas-plugins openvas-client libopenvasnasl1 libopenvas1 gpgsm

basic configuration:

openvas-adduser
openvas-mkcert
openvas-nvt-sync

edit your configuration file "/etc/openvas/openvasd.conf" and change the nasl_no_signature_check option to the following:

nasl_no_signature_check = yes

now you can start the vulnerability scanner (openvasd)

Was just going through the pdf document provided on their site in hope to get something for installation.
But you made it before I could read that

OH, I didn't see you added a repo to your source list to get that. I thought you were using the main repo. When you do that please be sure to include a disclaimer that we will not support that package here and if it breaks their sh*t its not our fault or backtracks fault.
