Hello all, As I've mentioned in previous emails recently, I'm writing an OpenVAS client in PHP. I've managed to connect to the OpenVAS server, log in, retrieve plugins, and start a scan. But, the scan inevitably hangs at some point... usually, the same point.
So I wanted to know if someone could walk through what the expected OTP conversation would look like between the client and server. I've read through the OTP docs but I'm still having trouble. This is what the conversation looks like now: Client: < OTP/1.0 > Server: < OTP/1.0 > Client: Logs in Client: CLIENT <|> PREFERENCES <|> ... list of prefs ... I've been sending an empty prefs list to keep things simple <|> CLIENT Server sends its preferences Client: CLIENT <|> LONG_ATTACK length of targets targets (just one target in this case) After this is all done, the server starts sending status messages and info about the scan. But after about a hundred lines or so, it just stops doing anything. The logs on the OpenVAS server aren't saying that anything is wrong, the process list still shows that openvasd is still performing the scan but it's just hanging. So, I'm assuming I'm not using the protocol correctly. Can someone let me know what a basic conversation between the client and server looks like, in order, so I can try to troubleshoot? I'll have some follow-up questions as soon as I get a basic idea of what the conversation looks like, I'm sure. Thanks!
