Create a file called saint.key and add the content given in the website. Store it in the Saint directory (/opt/saint-6.7.11).

It’s time to start our first vulnerability scan using SAINT. First of all, make sure that your favourite browser (Firefox) is not running. Otherwise you’ll probably get an error message. Use your KDE environment and click the menu on Backtrack – Vulnerability Identification – Saint Exploit – Saint Exploit.
SAINT will try to retrieve updates and will start a web interface using your favourite browser. Choose in the “Administration Functions” – Configure SAINT Key und click Submit. You’ll will see the installed key and the host IP-addresses you are “allowed” to scan.

To prepare the scan,  go to “Scan Set-Up” and add the IP-addresses, ranges and subnet you would like to penetrate. In the next entries you are able to adjust:

• Data Preservation
• Scanning Level
• Authentication
• Firewall Support

Click on “Scan Now” to perform your first scan.
