What is it for?

Thanks Eliah Kagan, that solved my question.

OpenVAS is a tool used by security hackers (i.e., network security analysts, professional penetration testers, network administrators and hobbyists testing their networks, and so forth) to scan a machine or network for vulnerabilities and determine if and to what extent those vulnerabilities are exploitable. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVAS and the information at http://openvas.org.
