Thanks. OpenVAS TCP Scanner does work. Now that there's a working TCP port scan, there are these complaints: DIRB could not be found in your system path. OpenVAS was unable to execute DIRB and to perform the scan you requested. Please make sure that DIRB is installed and is available in the PATH variable defined for your environment. Arachni could not be found in your system path. OpenVAS was unable to execute Arachni and to perform the scan you requested. Please make sure that Arachni is installed and that arachni is available in the PATH variable defined for your environment. Nikto could not be found in your system path. OpenVAS was unable to execute Nikto and to perform the scan you requested. Please make sure that Nikto is installed and that nikto.pl or nikto is available in the PATH variable defined for your environment. The only nikto instances on the system, for example, are: /usr/local/var/cache/openvas/nikto.nasl.nvti /usr/local/var/cache/openvas/GSHB/GSHB_nikto.nasl.nvti /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/plugins/nikto.nasl /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/plugins/nikto.nasl.asc /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/plugins/GSHB/GSHB_nikto.nasl /usr/local/var/lib/openvas/plugins/GSHB/GSHB_nikto.nasl.asc None of those are just "nikto" or "nikto.pl". Similarly with the others. Are these just items turned on in the scan config that expect programs to exist locally that aren't there? So if I want to, say, set up other admins here to run informative tests without noise like that I've got to run enough configs against enough ranges to identify all the loose ends like that? And I'd love to know where to go to repress the "Information About the Scan" section that just lists a page-worth of all the port numbers scanned. That would be far less clutter not listed per IP, just per total scan.
