+greenbone-security-assistant (UI for OpenVAS)
+
+This is the UI the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS).
+
+###### Known Problems ######
+
+- PDF report generation is broken. This may get fixed in a future slackbuild.
+
+- The libssh-0.5.4 shipped with Slackware (at the time of this writing) is
+ broken. If you need to run "credentialed" scans against targets running
+ OpenSSH 6.7 or beyond (including Slackware), you have 2 options:
+ 1. Enable diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 as a KexAlgorithm in the sshd_config
+ of your targets.
+ 2. Update your libssh to the latest.
+ You also may have problems with targets running Dropbear SSH server. See
+ this thread on LinuxQuestions for more information:
+ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=4175533193
+
+- All the daemons run as root. There's no (working) configuration options
+ or documentation to change this behavior.
+
+- There are a number of tests that depend on other software packages that are
+ not available as slackbuilds at this time. Stay tuned.
+
+###### Installation Instructions ######
+
+These instructions assume you're familiar with slackbuilds. If not, please
+refer to http://slackbuilds.org/howto/ .
+
+1. Build and install openvas-libraries.
+
+2. Build and install openvas-scanner.
+
+3. You need a Certificate Authority and server certificate. Run the following
+ command:
+# openvas-mkcert
+
+4. You need the NVT's (Network Vulnerability Tests). Run the following
+ command to sync. In the future, you can do this through the
+ greenbone-security-assistant interface. This will take a minute or so
+ with a blazing fast internet connection. YMMV.
+# openvas-nvt-sync
+
+5. Start the openvas-scanner daemon.
+# /etc/rc.d/rc.openvassd start
+
+6. Build and install openvas-manager.
+
+7. You need client certificates for manager to talk to scanner. Use the
+ following command.
+# openvas-mkcert-client -n -i
+
+8. Initialize the manager database. This will take a while, so be patient.
+# openvasmd --rebuild
+
+9. [Optional] If you want encrypted credentials in the DB, do this now.
+# openvasmd --create-credentials-encryption-key
+ This may take a while, so it's best to create some entropy by skipping to
+ #11-#13 and then coming back, if needed.
+
+10. Create a user.
+# openvasmd --create-user=cary
+ If you find the assigned password hard to remember, you can change it
+ right now.
+# openvasmd --user=cary --new-password=mekmitasdigoat
+
+11. Sync SCAP data. This will take some time.
+# openvas-scapdata-sync
+
+12. Sync CERT data.
+# openvas-certdata-sync
+
+13. Update port names.
+# wget http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml
+# openvas-portnames-update service-names-port-numbers.xml
+# rm service-names-port-numbers.xml
+
+14. Start the openvas-manager daemon.
+# /etc/rc.d/rc.openvasmd start
+
+15. Build and install libmicrohttpd.
+
+16. Build and install greenbone-security-assistant.
+
+17. Launch the greenbone-security-assistant.
+# /etc/rc.d/rc.gsad start
+
+18. Point your browser at https://<YOUR IP OR HOSTNAME>:9392
+ You'll get a certificate error, of course (fixing this is left as an
+ excercise for the reader). Log in with your username/password from #10.
+
+19. [Optional] Build and install openvas-cli. You'll need this if you ever
+ want to script tests.
+
+That's it! If you run into any problems, you can try running the
+openvas-check-setup script found here:
+ https://svn.wald.intevation.org/svn/openvas/trunk/tools/openvas-check-setup
+
+If you don't have a web-server running, you can edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.gsad
+script to remove the "-p 9392" option, and it will run on port 443.
+
+Please let me know if you run into any problems. Patches welcome!
+
+Have Fun!
