Currently we are running OpenVAS on Debian Lenny; Worked great out of the box; Plugins are up-to-date per the nvt update script. Output showing versions and plugin state is at the end of this message.
Initially when starting the server we received some messages that certain plugins would be ignored or invisible to the client. Most of these messages were resolved by installing dependencies after reviewing the .nasl files for "script_dependencies" and reviewing the tools used http://www.openvas.org/integrated-tools.html and installing some additional packages we thought might satisfy these dependencies #apt-get install nmap smbclient nikto snmp ovaldi pnscan netdiag ldap-utils Notably portbunny and amap are not packaged in .debs; However not even all the packaged dependencies above are "suggested or recommended" packages so perhaps a quick modification by the debian maintainers might be considered. After installing the related tools, we are now left with one message when we start the OpenVAS server that we can not seem to resolve. Does anyone know how we might get the W32.Sasser.Worm plugin to become active? The output we have is immediately below, senali:~# /etc/init.d/openvas-server start W32.Sasser.Worm.nasl could not be added to the cache and is likely to stay invisible to the client. openvasd. senali:~# Any help appreciated, cheers, Ian senali:~# dpkg -l | grep vas ii libopenvas2 2.0.4-1~bpo50+1 remote network security auditor - shared lib ii libopenvas2-dev 2.0.4-1~bpo50+1 remote network security auditor - static lib ii libopenvasnasl2 2.0.2-1~bpo50+1 OpenVAS shared libraries ii libopenvasnasl2-dev 2.0.2-1~bpo50+1 OpenVAS static libraries and headers ii openvas-server 2.0.3-2~bpo50+1 remote network security auditor - server senali:~# openvas-nvt-sync OpenVAS NVT Sync $ Configured NVT Feed: rsync://rsync.openvas.org:/nvt-feed Synchronized into: /var/openvas/plugins Searching for required system tools ...
