I have used it on CentOS 6.3.

This is how we loaded it.

Step 1: Configure Atomicorp Repository sudo -i export NON_INT=Y; wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh

Step 2: Quick-Install OpenVAS yum -y --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base,updates,atomic,rpmforge install openvas gsd openvas-setup openvas-certdata-sync service openvas-scanner start openvasmd --rebuild service openvas-manager start service gsad start

During the openvas-setup you will prompted to create a user/login. -- no rules are needed.

The above step can take quite a while depending on the speed of your connection as all the current security vulnerabilities are being downloaded. Open https://localhost:9392/ or start "gsd" on a command line as a regular user (not as root!) The first thing to do is create a target under Configuration menu then create a Scan Task and then start the scan task. Refresh your browser to track the progress of the scan.

I downloaded last week OpenVAS but I don't know if I made some mistake or no... By the way the project is really interesting so if someone has some tips about installation and configuration I will be happy to read.

I was looking for a vulnerability scanner and found OpenVAS. Does anyone has experiences with that scanner? And with the Atomicorp repository? (the OpenVAS website refers to that repo)

Thanks Patrick
