New install, nothing found
New install, nothing found
Hi,
New install of OpenVAS 8 on CentOS today following instructions on here.
I'm on the Greenbone security assistant website and I can add targets and scan them.
However I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
None of my scans however are showing up any vulnerabilities.
I'd like to think I'm good, but I'm sure that there will be something...
I've even tried a Full and very deep ultimate scan. Nothing detected.
Probably a Schoolboy error, but someone put me out of my misery please...

Re: New install, nothing found
selinux is a pretty common issue, if thats on it could interfere with it. Under the hood its using nmap for discovery, so another test would be to run that from the command line to see what you get on the same target(s).

Hi, sorry. Newbie here.
What exactly do I need to do?
I thought I had disabled selinux following the instructions

Re: New install, nothing found
I usually either boot the kernel with selinux=0 or disable it in /etc/sysconfig/selinux (and reboot)
Re: New install, nothing found
The instructions from this website that I followed had that step.
1) Disable SELINUX.
Edit /etc/selinux/config, save and reboot (SELINUX=disabled)
I'm pretty sure I did it right. Is there a command I can run to confirm if it is running or not?

Yup, use:
getenforce
getenforce
Re: New install, nothing found
Thanks.
When I do this I get 'Disabled' as a response.
If it helps, under SecInfo Management, I can view and see CVE's, CPE's etc, but if I select NVT's I did get nothing. Yet suddenly I am getting a list.
Previous reports didn't give me any numbers in the scan results, but I will try a new scan now and see what happens...
I'll keep you posted.

Re: New install, nothing found
Maybe you dont have any nvts? You could run the openvas-nvt-sync and see what you get
Re: New install, nothing found
Seems to be working now.
Frustrating as I'd like to know why it took so long to get the NVT's

Re: New install, nothing found
Theres just the one NVT source from Greenbone and that one is in germany, it can be slow at times. The one thats really really slow is the SCAP data source from Mitre. That one is like a dialup a lot of the time.
