Hey I had the same problem (german mailing list), the user had mounted some filesystems which were searched too. take a look at these to options:
GSA -> Configuration -> Scan Configs -> Edit Scan Config -> Options for Local Security Checks -> Also use 'find' command to search for Applications -> No. and GSA -> Configuration -> Scan Configs -> Edit Scan Config -> Options for Local Security Checks -> Descend directories on other filesystem (don't add -xdev to find) -> No. I only disabled the second Option and that solved my problem. After disabling the option (enable -xdev) the find´s are very fast. Hope its the same for you… Regards René Behring Am 06.06.2014 um 02:33 schrieb Arya Goudarzi <[email protected]>: > Assuming each NVT explores 1 vulnerability and each vulnerability is > associated with 1 binary, then I should see 4 find commands running on the > machine at max not 20 since I am running 4 NVTs on a host at a time.
