- How to install OpenVAS Vulnerability Scanner on Kali Linux?
- If you haven’t already, make sure your Kali is up-to-date and install the latest OpenVAS. Once done, run the openvas-setup command to setup OpenVAS, download the latest rules, create an admin user, and start up the various services. Depending on your bandwidth and computer resources, this could take a while.
