Thanks Christian,

Just some clarification so I can maybe spot similar in the future:

> This had correctly registered the OS but an include file was missing an entry 
> so this registered OS wasn't taken into account.


Would this have logged any errors anywhere? - Just thinking from a coding point 
of view anytime a reference is missing it usually produces an warning/error.


> As we want to register the OS here i have chosen the

Sounds reasonable, although looking at the latest CVE's they seem to be listing 
both o and a:

  <cpe-item name="cpe:/o:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.3.1">
    <cpe-23:cpe23-item 
name="cpe:2.3:o:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.3.1:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"/>
  <cpe-item name="cpe:/o:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.3.1.1">
    <cpe-23:cpe23-item 
name="cpe:2.3:o:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.3.1.1:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"/>
  <cpe-item name="cpe:/a:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.3.1.1">
    <cpe-23:cpe23-item 
name="cpe:2.3:a:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.3.1.1:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"/>
  <cpe-item name="cpe:/a:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.3.2">

Gotta love the consistency. I'd agree with you, o (as in Operating System) 
should be for the firmware but a (as in Application) should be what's used for 
the ADSM tool. Possible to list multiple CPE's?

Also, will the hardware be registered as well? the output shows that my ASA 
model is identified by as said it shows 'Hardware Information Unavailable'. 
This may have been a separate NVT.

I'll be able to test again at the end of the week.

Good Evening All,


Not sure why but even though the scan results correctly show that a Cisco ASA 
along with ASDM has been detected by both SSH and SNMP scans, when I look at 
the Assets list it's coming up as Unknown OS:


The results of the scan are below:

Cisco ASA Detection (SNMP)

Vulnerability Detection Result

Detected Cisco ASA

Version: 9.2(4)

Location: 161/udp

CPE: cpe:/a:cisco:asa:9.2(4)


Similar info is shown for the 'Cisco ASA Detection' NVT.


According to Asset Management it is showing as 'No information on operating 
system was gathered during scan' and 'Hardware: Information unavailable',surely 
this can't be right?


Having a look at the 'Cisco ASA Detection (SNMP)' NVT  
(http://plugins.openvas.org/nasl.php?oid=106513),  it looks as though it should 
run the register_and_report_os function so that this information is known.


On a related note, is the CPE shown correct.  According the directionary from 
Mitre, the correct format appears to be as below. Could that be part of the 
problem?

cpe:/a:cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software:9.2.4


Thanks in advance for any insight on this.


Lee
