Environment:
Scanner: OpenVAS 9 on Centos 7
Scanner has login creds to the client. The user it uses can
sudo to root.
Client: CentOS 6.9 in AWS with IPTables running
When I scan my client all goes well. I can watch the Greenbone GUI and almost
the moment the scan task completes the client completly stops (no IP in or
out). When IPTables is running on the client this “pause” is approximately 2
minutes. This has been verified by my pinging the client and active ssh
sessions on the client. Further, even Route 53 is able to pick this “pause”
up and report it.
When I shutdown iptables and re-run the scan the “pause” seems to only last for
about 5 seconds.
These pauses are very very consistent and reproducible on many of our VMs. And
it only happens right after the scan task competes. This leads me to think its
some kind of clean up job.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Louis
