Hello OpenVAS users, I'd be very interested to find out how many users of the OpenVAS Transfer Protocol (OTP) we still have.
This is the protocol offered by the OpenVAS Scanner and in modern OpenVAS releases the OpenVAS Manager is the only relevant client. Please reply on-list (preferred as it might interest the community in general) or off-list (if you prefer this) to the following questions in case you are using OTP: * Have you implemented OTP with your own pograming lanuage and tools or have you used API elements of openvas-libraries/openvas-scanner for this? * Which of the OTP commands did you implement? * Which OTP commands do you really need in the future and which could you drop? * Is OTP critical for your activities/processes? * Is OMP an alternative for your OTP use case? Your answers will help developers to judge about the future of OTP. So far it is fully maintained across all stable OpenVAS releases. But OTP has several drawbacks and design issues and it is desirable to have a leaner OTP version as well as a new, more advanced, protocol.
