Thanks, that gives me a clear picture and confirms what I have been able to investigate over time.
My intention was to clarify how the OpenVAS Feed Update is working, since daily updates have been mentioned for it. From: Eero Volotinen <[email protected]> To: Helmut Koers <[email protected]>, Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: 27.11.2015 18:11 Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] openvas-nvt-feed Sent by: [email protected] Well, that is true. You need to think nvt feed this way. NVT developer (like me) generates plugin and uploads it to svn version control. Then greenbone qa tests all new plugins and usually in wednesday official release is generated by greenbone and released to openvas feed. If you want faster updates, you should pay for greenbone feed. -- Eero 2015-11-27 18:03 GMT+02:00 Helmut Koers <[email protected]>: I have been running "openvas-nvt-sync" on a daily basis, until I recognized that updates are provided once a week on wednesday morning. I have to state there have been additional updates in exception when a critical vulnerability has been identified. I can recall that happening once which was as far as I remember related to Heartbleed, but I may be wrong on that. 27.11.2015----15:41:[email protected] wrote on 27.11.2015 15:41:52: > From: Eero Volotinen <[email protected]>> To: Helmut Koers <[email protected]>, "openvas- > [email protected]" <openvas-discuss @wald.intevation.org>, > Date: 27.11.2015 15:41> Subject: Re: [Openvas-di scuss] openvas-nvt-feed> Sent by: eer [email protected]> > well, it depends how openvas-feeed is updated and how many times per > week you run openvas-nvt-sync. > Commercial feed is updated more often.. of course you can also > update feed from svn, but it 's now signed with gpg.> > --> Eero> > 2015-11-27 16:14 GMT+02:00 Helmut Koers <H [email protected]>:> I am running OpenVAS 8, installed from source.
