Hello,
 
If it didn't set SMB/WindowsVersion KB, it means it is not able to read the
following registry key,
 
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
 
It should have been straight forward, not sure if this is related to
registry permissions. But, if you are using admin credentials, it should
have for sure worked. Have you enabled "Reuse knowledge base..." in the KB
section? If so, please disable and try again.
 
Thanks,
Chandra.

Dependencies is enabled at runtime.
>From what I can tell the SMB registry is set,
SMB/registry_access=1

I dont see the other items exactly listed.
I do see the credentials I provided and a note saying it was able to login.

Hello Dan,
 
Have you enabled "Dependencies: Enable at runtime" option in the Plugins
section of OpenVAS-Client. "SMB/WindowsVersion" KB item is set by
smb_reg_service_pack.nasl, ensure that this is running as well. For
debugging further, you can enable "KB Saving" feature in Client and check
the KB's that are being set in,
 
/usr/local/var/lib/openvas/users/USER_NAME/kbs/HOST_IP
 
These KB items must be set,
 
SMB/login
SMB/registry_access
SMB/WindowsVersion
 
Thanks,
Chandra.

Thanks Chandra,

The SMB login is successful and I also tested it with smbclient just to make
sure.
There is not a whole lot of settings to change on the target machine, it's a
standalone XP that is part of a workgroup.

I can see the ms08-067 nasl running against the host, which should trigger
an alert but I never get any thing in the report.

It really looks like the only thing that is working is the port scans.

Hello Dan,
 
There were others who had faced similar issue, am going to describe little
in detail.
 
It seems that the login hasn't been successful, the KB item
SMB/WindowsVersion is set only if the login is successful. To verify if the
login is successful, look for this security_note in the report,
 
"It was possible to log into the remote host using user defined
login/password combinations"
 
If you see, "It was not...", login isn't successful. You can verify your
credentials once again and also check if access to port 139,445 is there.
The login can also be cross-verified through "smbclient" tool.
 
If all this is fine,
1. In "Local Security Settings -> Security Options -> Network access:
Sharing and security model for local accounts" should be "Classic - local
users authenticate themselves"
2. Make sure that you aren't enforcing NTLM, Signing or Encryption, OpenVAS
doesn't support these. In openvas-libraries 3.0.3, we introduced NTLM based
auth, that can be used for NTLM based authentication but not for signing and
encryption.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Thanks,
Chandra.

Subject: [Openvas-discuss] OpenVAS does not appear to be running
pluginscorrectly


Hi All,

I have been trying for the last couple of days to get openvas to spit out
some alerts from plugins.
My first attempt was a Ubuntu desktop machine (9.04) I installed openvas
from apt-get, I also added my own openvas-nvt-sync since it's missing from
the packages.
It loads up ok, says that all of the plugins are enabled.

Then I point it at a Windows XP SP2 machine, really it's patched up to SP2
so there should be more then a few things triggered on it.
The firewall is off on the machine, and I have the Admin login provided for
openvas.

The scan does return results, a few open ports, that it was able to get
netbios information and it reports that ssh is open,(but it's not).

There is errors in the openvasd.messages file that say that the key
SMB/WindowsVersion is missing, I am assuming my problems might have
something to do with that, but I have no idea how to resolve that or really
my larger issue.

Any help is appreciated.
