Hi Eero,

Thanks for reply.  Scanning localhost seems not to make any difference.   I 
turned off all my firewall on the CentOS 6 VM and the results were not 
different.   Also could you send me the link how to install OpenVAS 8?  Looks 
like I can only update on EL6.  Is OpenVAS 8 available on EL6 yet?

Thanks. -Artie

Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] OpenVAS 7 on VM is working on 
HTTP/HTTPS/Telnet/SSH ports?

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.

Hello experts,

Please help… I am a beginner of OpenVAS.   I like OpenVAS design and its 
architecture very much, but I am stuck by my trial experience at this point.

Recently I installed  OpenVAS 7 on a CentOS 6.6 VM and scanned some appliance 
products of my company in same subnet that have HTTP/HTTPS/SSH/Telnet/Ping/SNMP 
services open on the mgmt. IP.  Although scan progress looked normal till done 
status, somehow scan results are always empty with various targets/port lists, 
and scan config.  The OS is not even detected.   Using task wizard didn’t help. 
 Meanwhile I used other 3rd party scan tools (e,g Qualys) and found some 
vulnerabilities detected and reported, but I don’t want to give up OpenVAS.

I ran openvas-check-setup  –v7 without any errors before I used OpenVAS.  I 
wonder if I missed any configurations that are critical to the scan engines.   
Can someone hint me where to start diagnose to ensure the scan is properly 
configured to function?

Thanks in advance.
Artie
