The Greenbone Community Edition covers the actual source code of the Greenbone Vulnerability Management software stack, which is also known as OpenVAS.
It is available as regularly updated source code snapshots/release archives confirmed to work and as source code checkouts directly from the git source code repositories at GitHub. The latter is not recommended for production scenarios as the code is edited on a daily basis and issues and incomplete functionality may appear.
The sources of the Greenbone Community Edition are adopted by third parties, for example Linux distributions like Kali, Alpine, etc.
This documentation covers the stable version of the Greenbone Community Edition.
