Virtual OpenVAS

Have looked at an alternative to Nessus, have looked at OpenVAS in the past but getting all the runtimes to work was a problem.

Have found a virtual appliance for OpenVAS to get things started.  Much faster to get going, but seems to overwhelm my router, so can't perform  PenTests!
