Vulnerability scanning tool demo

- Let's look at how to use OpenVAS…to scan for system vulnerabilities…as part of a technical security assessment.…In this demo, I've installed…OpenVAS on the Kali Linux system,…as described in the Introduction to Kali Linux course.…I'll log into the OpenVAS server using admin credentials.…Before beginning a vulnerability scan, it's important…to ensure that the signatures are up to date.…In this version of OpenVAS, that's done…by updating the vulnerability feeds.…

I'll go to administration and select…the feeds that I want to synchronize.…I'll hover over administration and click on NVT feed.…To synchronize, I'll click Synchronize With Feed Now.…Synchronization can be quick or slow, depending…on how out of date the signatures are.…Be sure to allow enough time for a long…synchronization prior to your vulnerability scan.…When the feed version doesn't change, then…it's the most current version.…

Next, I'll define the target address range,…which was identified in the network discovery step.…I'll click on Configuration and Targets.…
