      The DEMO build is just an OVA that you can import into VMware / VirtualBox and be ready to go in a few minutes... Sadly, their image download seems to be overloaded... A whopping 14 kbit download for me... So I'm building from Ubuntu and going to try the OpenVAS9 PPA.

      Right.

      It's not a working appliance like Graylog, or XO.

        http://www.openvas.org/vm.html

        Demo is plainly listed, I'm guessing that is just put there to say, hey if you want to do this, you should really build from sources.

        Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you'll read the following : -

        ***Important note on these Virtual Appliances

        Please note that these virtual appliances are for demonstration/testing purposes and not recommended for regular production uses, particularly for more than a few hosts depending on local system resources. The OpenVAS scanner is resource intensive and may take a long time to start on slower systems, especially when run as a VM on laptops.***

        Essentially saying, be sure to give it enough RAM to run.

          No, it is a fully working appliance... but I don't feel like waiting 3 days for it to download, lol.

            I meant working in the sense of "production usable" ... it's more a proof of concept than a working appliance like XO or Graylog offerings.

              @Veet I did, and I read it as well. Just curious if there was some kind of "paid" or source difference from what they have in the OVA.

                It's quite usable for production -- that's what I ran when I used it in the past. You just can't gimp on the RAM. For production, I'd suggest 8GB or 16GB of RAM or more... Especially for anything more than a few hosts.

                  Oh, that's good to know.

                  I admittedly struggled a bit with getting it installed from source. But that's probably just me.

                  And by probably I mean definitely.

                    If you like Ubuntu, they have pre-compiled binaries and such from the PPA. Easy to set up.

                    I've got a scan going... I am trying the openvas9 beta.

                      Not that anyone cares, but I looked at my OpenVAS VM.........

                      "Imported from OVA"

                      I'm. A. Dope.

                              It got mentioned a year ago... but that's about it.

                                  I've worked with it in the past for a particular issue in a product. Worked for what we needed it for.

                                    The Alienvault OSSIM has OpenVAS built in, if I remember correctly. It's much easier to get started with that one... Just download an ISO from their site and go...

                                    https://www.alienvault.com/products/ossim (no infowall or anything like that to go through).

                                          OSSIM does much more than just OpenVAS... It can be a snort sensor collector and such too.
