Hi Reindl, And thanks for your answer. Actually your questions made me find out that for some reason my swap partition wasn't mounted. So perhaps it explains the issues I'm facing in the end. I have mounted my swap back, restarted gsa/redis/openvas and resumed my scans.
Let's see if it fix the issue. As for Kali, I can unfortunately only agree with your statement. This distrib is just buggy as hell but unfortunately there is no particular alternative at the moment when you need a dedicated plateform for ethical hacking, which is my case... Thanks again -----Original Message----- From: Reindl Harald <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] GSA crashes / OpenVAS hungs Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2017 16:17:53 +0100 Am 03.02.2017 um 16:04 schrieb tatooin: > I can resume works for some times.
