Try scanning localhost (127.0.0.1) first. If You can get results from that, it verifies that openvas is working correctly.
Usually there might be ids, firewalls or other things that might block scanning probles .. Anyway, OpenVAS7 is a bit old, you should install OpenVAS8 instead of it. -- Eero 2015-09-09 4:09 GMT+03:00 Artie Leu <[email protected]>: > Hello experts, > > > > Please help… I am a beginner of OpenVAS.
