Hello Vivek, Please ignore that message, ping_host.nasl is not there in the Plugins repository, we'll remove the specific log message,
Scan duration : unknown (ping_host.nasl not launched?) Are you selecting synscan port scanner? I never got any report from this specific scanner, you could select nmap scanner and in the Preferences, enable SYN scan. Thanks, Chandra. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vivek Umasuthan Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 10:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Openvas-discuss] Scan duration : unknown (ping_host.nasl notlaunched?) Hi, I am a new here, so pardon me if I am asking about something that has already been resolved. I have installed and am running OpenVAS on Debian Lenny. I ran a scan against a router. I wanted to specifically do a TCP SYN scan. Once the scan was complete and I looked at the report, there is this message under the information about the scan section which says Scan duration : unknown (ping_host.nasl not launched?). I looked into [My OpenVAS Directory]/lib/openvas/plugins/ and couldnt find any NASL called ping_host.nasl. Is this a problem? Can I get this file somewhere? Did TCP SYN scan actually happen? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Vivek Umasuthan _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
