hi all...
i have been trying to use openvas 8 for a week now. installed on 3
different linux distributions over vmware fusion and every time i run it
the scan stalls and the os becomes unresponsive after about 2 min - it
shows 1% completed - into the scan and there is no indication why -
nothing in the logs. i initially thought that it has to do with some
networking issues related to the vmware although openvas 6 on a centos
was running just fine in it. i upgraded the vmware. and then tried
running openvas 8 on centos, debian, kali and ubuntu. the ubuntu install
never really worked - not really a huge fan of that distro either. but
the rest all got to the point i was able to create targets and tasks and
start a scan. but they all die after a couple of minutes crashing the os.
i did post earlier here and it seemed that the lack of icmp ports was
cutting the scanning short. but at lest in those cases the scan was
"completed". so i stared editing the targets by changing how the machine
was considered 'alive' including the last option where it's just assumed
that the machine is alive. all of those scans crash with the os becoming
unresponsive...
any help of how to "fix" this will be appreciated...
thanks...
