What it does
Greenbone Community Edition provides the source and stable deployment documentation for the vulnerability-management stack also known as OpenVAS.
Greenbone Community Edition is a self-operated vulnerability-scanning stack, also known as OpenVAS. Its documentation distinguishes stable release archives from daily source checkouts and third-party packages. Use the deployment guidance for the selected stable arrangement and define authorized targets before scheduling scans. Findings need an owner and verification after remediation. The documentation discourages daily development checkouts for production because they may contain incomplete functionality.
