Hi Micha, Thank you for your reply. Could you please elaborate on your statement "It's not so easy to do *active* scanning of such devices", with a few reasons to why this is so. I'm not familiar with Android vulnerability scanning and I would very much appreciate your feedback.
BTW, would it be easier to do active scanning of Android devices if OpenVAS would connect to such a device using ADB via TCP or USB?

We don't support Android Devices at the moment. It's not so easy to do *active* scanning of such devices.
