You're acting like a toddler on this list. It's annoying.

if someone asks to install OpenVAS on windows there are only two
possible respones:

* none if there is no expierience
* it is not possible in case of expierience

I've never tried running a OpenVAS server on windows, might work
if you manage to get it compiled hardly helps anybody, it only
wastes the time of the person who asked by trying to do things
with no change for success

My problem is not what you say, it's more about *how* do you
say it.

OpenVAS dones not run un windows - period
nobody needs it to run on windows
why? because virtualization exists - period


Fair point, I could have phased that a bit more elegantly. That being 
said you could work a bit more on the tone you use to contribute to the 
list.
Being a bit less aggressive towards others would improve the overall 
atmosphere. Show a little respect for the hard work Greenbone does here 
and keep the list informative and supportive of newcomers.
You wouldn't want us correcting every mistake you make in your postings 
with the tone you use.

[Openvas-discuss] Open VAS vs Greenbone

2014-02-17 Thread ritesh malpani
Hi,

What kind of scanning does OpenVAS support like host scanning, network
scanning, application scanning because I am not finding any pages which
describes the support for type of targets it scans.

 2. There are no sizing requirements mentioned like memory requirements,
Operating system, Hardware, Disk space, etc, Please suggest some best
practice, I am looking for an enterprise deployment

3. Do we need to have separate systems on which the scanner, manager and
GSA are installed ? I am good at Windows so can all the components be
installed  on windows platform

4. Can a single manager control multiple scanners.


Regards

Ritesh

 1. Openvas scans just like nexpose or nessus. You can scan a machine 
 externally or provide creds to scan internally
 
 2. Expect to need a box with 8gb ram for good performance.
 
 3. You can run all on one machine with no real issue. However, i highly 
 recommend not using windows. You will have much better community support 
 using debian or centos.
 
 4. Not sure about this, only ever used one.

Microsoft Windo(w)s is not supported platform. Commercial Nessus runs fine
on Windo(w)s platform also..

Re: [Openvas-discuss] Open VAS vs Greenbone

2014-02-17 Thread Ryan Schulze


1. depends a lot on what you configure it to do (in the scan profile), 
as far as possibilities go it will scan the hosts or networks you tell 
it to, then it will check for application or configuration issues 
(either remotely, or by logging into the server if you provide OpenVAS 
with credentials to do so).


2. Your hardware requirements will vary depending on the type of scan 
you are doing, how many targets, how many hosts and checks you allow to 
be done simultaneously, what reports are to be generated, 
My best advice would be to set up the scan you want to do, grab a subset 
of IPs (something like 30-50), run the scan, fiddle with the settings 
and see where your bottleneck is, then just scale up from there. For us 
it's the CPU most of the time.


3. I've never tried running a OpenVAS server on windows, might work if 
you manage to get it compiled. You can have all processes on the same 
server.


4. yes, works pretty good too. Scanners also don't require GSA to be 
installed or running.


Hope that helped.
