NAME

       greenbone-nvt-sync  -  updates  the OpenVAS NVTs from Greenbone Security Feed or Community
       Feed

SYNOPSIS

       greenbone-nvt-sync

DESCRIPTION

       The  OpenVAS  Scanner  performs  several  security  checks.  These  are   called   Network
       Vulnerability Tests (NVTs) and are implemented in the programming language NASL. Some NVTs
       are wrappers for external tools.  As new vulnerabilities are published every day, new NVTs
       appear  in  the Greenbone Security Feed. This feed is commercial and requires a respective
       subscription key.  In case no subscription key is present, the update synchronisation will
       use the Community Feed instead.

       The  script  greenbone-nvt-sync will fetch all new and updated security checks and install
       them at  the  proper  location.  Once  this  is  done  OpenVAS  Scanner,  openvas(8)  will
       automatically  detect  that  new  and  updated NVTs are present and consider them for next
       activities.
