Web-Client GSA 1.0.0 released
Greenbone Security Assistant (GSA) 1.0: Full web-client for OpenVAS Manager 1.0 now available
GSA 1.0 represents almost 2 years of intensive work. The mission of GSA is to be
a web client to the OpenVAS Manager 1.0 via the OpenVAS Management Protocol (OMP).
GSA offers a complete implementation of OMP in order to access all features
to organize and manage OpenVAS vulnerability scans. Additionally, GSA
optionally acts as a client for the upcoming openvas-administrator using the
OpenVAS Administration Protocol (OAP) which allows e.g. management of scan users.
Central features of Greenbone Security Assistant are:
* Full OMP 1.0 client. The XML-based OMP responses are transformed into
web pages via XSLT.
* No additional web-server required. The GSA daemon (gsad) uses microhttpd
to implement a HTTP service on its own.
* Plain HTML. Neither cookies, JavaScript nor other dynamic elements are used.
GSA works stateless and uses HTTP Basic Auth.
