Package Information

Descriptionremote network security auditor - static libraries and headers

The Open Vulnerability Assessment System is a modular security auditing tool, used for testing remote systems for vulnerabilities that should be fixed.

It is made up of two parts: a server, and a client. The server/daemon, gvmd, is in charge of the attacks, whereas the client, gvm-tools, provides an X11/GTK+ user interface.

This package contains the required static libraries and headers.
