I'm running openvas9 on ubuntu that I installed from packages based on
instructions here https://launchpad.net/~mrazavi/+archive/ubuntu/openvas

I ran fast-and-full scan against a single host and I watched the status
move slowly towards 100% and at last marked as Done.

After a while, say when it was around 12%, I started a tcpdump to see what
it was sending but didn't see any packets destined for the host I was
testing.  Oddly, I can see ssh and other connections from this computer to
the scanned host, but openvas just seems not to be doing anything!

At the end of the scan, I click on the task and see there is one report.  I
click on the 1 and it tells me;
The report is empty. *The filter does not match any of 1 results.*

It's the same if I go to the Reports, there's no report!

Now I know it must have started sending data because the host knew it was
being port scanned but after a while, openvas just seemed to send nothing
at all.  I got a message from bitdefender blocking the port scan.  So it
must have done something early on.

So this is odd.  It seemed to start to scan but then I had no evidence of
it scanning, and at the end, I see no evidence of a report.  And no error
message either.  So it seems like it didn't work...

In the openvasmd log:

event task:MESSAGE:2017-06-21 22h22.44 UTC:12146: Status of task Immediate

and the openvassd.messages

It did take 4 hours to complete, is this normal for a fast-and-full scan?

Suggestions?  Was it a mistake to try openvas 9?
