Atomicorp

Thanks again for the quick response!

Nice! Just posting this now, but I ran yum update later that same morning I posted this question and the updated RPM was already there. Thanks!

Hello,

Nmap 5.50 has been out since January. Will the Atomic RPM for CentOS 5.x be updated to this new version? The Atomic version is currently 4.85.

More info here. It is a major upgrade.

Thanks,

Nikto 2.1.4 has been released. Details are available here:

Will the rpm for CentOS 5.5 be updated to this new version? (the current Atomic rpm is 2.1.3)

Thanks,
Brian

Whoa. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and upgrade to CentOS 6.

Maybe you've seen these too, but before you go to too much effort, it seems that there are folks who have already done this work, for both Python 2.5 and 2.6.

Regarding OpenVAS, I am using it now in production. It works pretty well. I use it in combination with GSA (greenbone security assistant). There are quite a few holes in its functionality, but what is there seems to work well.

Well, I spoke too soon. I was able to get the packages to install, but I can't run w3af, either w3af_console or w3af_gui. Here is the error output that I get when running w3af_console [root@openvas ~]# w3af_console Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/w3af_console", line 91, i...

I confirm that the python-SocksiPy package is now in the repo, and that yum install w3af now works!

Thanks for your assistance,
Brian

The output is: Also, when running yum install python-SocksiPy, I get this:

Hello, I am trying to install the w3af package from the atomic repository (using yum install), and I get the below dependency problem. Any ideas on how to fix this? w3af-1.0-0.1.rc4.el5.art.x86_64 from atomic has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: python-SocksiPy is needed by package w3af-1...

Yes, the download link on the sourceforge.com page says that it is 19.2 MB, which is for version 1.0-rc4.

So....can you publish it now? That would be really helpful. The tarball is about 20 MB. That doesn't seem that large....

Hello, I would like to make a suggestion for a package to add to the Atomic CentOS repository: w3af w3af is a general web application scanning tool that is an excellent compliment to nikto. Also, w3af may be used by the OpenVAS security scanner, just like nikto. More information on w3af is available...

Hello,

I am curious to know if the OpenVAS packages in the Atomic CentOS Repository will be updated soon? I would really like to see current versions of all of the various OpenVAS-related packages, including OpenVAS itself, greenbone-security-assistant and libmicrohttpd.

Thanks,
Brian
