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.
