OpenVAS stands for Open Vulnerability Assessment System and aims to be the number #1 network security scanner. It is capable of performing remote and local security checks. Quite big number of security check modules are available, which are written in a small interpreted language called NASL. Basic support for OVAL definitions is also implemented. Currently, OpenVAS is used by academics, governments and companies around the world in order to find and fix vulnerabilities.
