Scan targets with GVM
- [Instructor] It's useful to understand what vulnerabilities are present on our pen testing targets. To find these, we can use the Greenbone Vulnerability Manager, GVM.

Let's install this in Kali, sudo apt install gvm. And we can now move straight into the GVM setup phase, which will load its databases, sudo gvm-setup. Here we see our admin password, which we'll need, and it will be repeated at the end of setup. Loading the database information will take a while, so let's come back when it's complete. Okay, we're finished now. Let's copy our password, which we'll need to log in. Okay, we can now run gvm-start, and we started, and we can log in, and run to admin, and paste the password and sign in.
