finally have OpenVAS up and running on the latest version: greenbone-security-assistant-3.0.3 openvas-manager-3.0.3 openvas-administrator-1.2.1 openvas-libraries-5.0.3 libmicrohttpd-0.9.15 openvas-scanner-3.3.1
and no sign of the GSAD consuming >100% CPU since I linked in the older version of libmicrohttpd. The problem I have now is that it will not scan any host! What I am seeing in openvassd.messages is the following: [Wed Nov 7 08:50:09 2012][29528] user om starts a new scan. Target(s) : www.somesite.com, with max_hosts = 1 and max_checks = 1 [Wed Nov 7 08:50:09 2012][29528] user om : testing 77.X.X.X (::ffff:77.X.X.X) [29578] [Wed Nov 7 08:50:10 2012][29578] user om : new KB will be saved as /usr/local/openvas/var/lib/openvas/users/om/kbs/77.X.X.X [Wed Nov 7 08:50:10 2012][29578] Client tried to raise the maximum checks number - 4. Using 1. Change 'max_checks' in openvassd.conf if you believe this is incorrect [Wed Nov 7 08:50:13 2012][29578] user om : The remote host (77.X.X.X) is dead [Wed Nov 7 08:50:14 2012][29578] Finished testing 77.X.X.X. Time : 4.19 secs [Wed Nov 7 08:50:14 2012][29528] user om : test complete [Wed Nov 7 08:50:14 2012][29528] Total time to scan all hosts : 6 seconds [Wed Nov 7 08:50:14 2012][29528] user om : Kept alive connection [Wed Nov 7 08:50:14 2012][29528] Communication closed by client have read some other posts and modified openvassd.conf to included log_whole_attack = yes but that does not appear to report anything further detailed information. Another post said that they were able to resolve the issue by running the following set of commands: openvas-nvt-sync openvasad --sync-feed openvas-scapdata-sync openvasmd --update service openvas stop service openvas start but unfortunately that has made no difference either :( Any thoughts on where I can look next ? -- Thanks, Phil _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wald.intevation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
