Openvas 9 is now available for RHEL/Centos 7, and Fedora 24-25

Many thanks to Atomicorp for this.

Here are my updated install notes for OpenVAS 9 on CentOS 7.3.1611 (minimal install).
Hope someone finds it useful.

1) Disable SELINUX (edit /etc/selinux/config) and reboot
2) Update your CentOS installation and reboot if necessary
yum -y update
3) Install the follow packages
yum install -y wget bzip2 texlive net-tools alien gnutls-utils
4) Add Atomicorp repo (see https://wiki.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/Atomic)
wget -q -O - https://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh
5) Install OpenVAS 9
yum install openvas -y
6) edit /etc/redis.conf. Add/uncomment the following
unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 700
7) Restart Redis
systemctl enable redis && systemctl restart redis
openvas-setup
Follow instructions and remember your admin password. If rsync throws error, check that your network allows outgoing TCP 873 to internet
9) Open firewall port for tcp/9392
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=9392/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
firewall-cmd --list-port

Go to https://<IP-ADDRESS>:9392 and login.


To verify your OpenVAS setup, run
openvas-check-setup --v9

If you need to generate PDF from OpenVAS, refer to CentOS 7 instructions at https://wiki.openvas.org/index.php/Gene ... PDF_report

I have just set this up on Fedora 25 using slight tweaks to those instructions (dnf instead of yum). Thanks very much.

Did hit a snag at the point of installing OpenVas. It appears there is a missing dependency of pnscan for Fedora 25 (and I am guessing 24) as it doesn't appear in the repo. I manually installed the rpm from the Fedora 23 repository which so far appears to be working.

I found this was needed also

# yum -y install texlive-changepage texlive-titlesec
# mkdir -p /usr/share/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/comment
# cd /usr/share/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/comment
# wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/co ... omment.sty
# chmod 644 comment.sty
# texhash​

We've added a lot of this input to the openvas package, but havent had the time to test the PDF support completely. That could use some extra vetting if anyone has the opportunity.

Thanks again for all the feedback on this!

Hello Guys!
I`m new here in this Forum and first i want to say thanks for the great Jobs you are making here.
I´m trying to use Openvas-V9 in my Project on a CentOS 6.9 (Final).
Tryed this Manual two times now, but i am not able to get OpenVAS running, did all the Steps that MikeLim posted above.
Some of the Errors that came up after "openvas-check-Setup" could be fixed with Google(e.g. redis was not installed).
But now i am at the end of my (little) knowledgement.
The Situation ist currently(only the error-part in check-Setup):

ERROR: OpenVAS Manager is NOT running!
FIX: Start OpenVAS Manager (openvasmd).

"service openvas-manager status" says the process is running(it also have a PID).
The openvasmd.log says:
lib auth: INFO:2017-07-25 08h58.54 utc Authentication configuration not found.
A solution shall be the command: openvasmd --rebuild and/or --update.
I tried both but it changed nothing.

Can anybody help me?
Thanks

Edit: Sorry for second post. I`ve read over that a mod has to check my post.

is redis running and listening on the right socket?

Hi Scott, how can you tell what the right socket is?

THe default is to look for it at /tmp/redis.sock (this is configurable inside openvas too), anything that might keep that from working could be the culprit. Like selinux, permissions, etc

Hi

I followed the above guide to install Openvas to my CentOS 7 box.

openvas-check-setup --v9
https://pastebin.com/PCvwQEBf

My problem is that, when i create a new single task or host check, the status is "Requested", but when I click on it to see the result it becomes "Internal error". See the below logs.

I tried googling, but it wasn't successful. Any idea?

I have the exact same problem as Diego. My system is a fresh installation on Centos 7 in AWS.

Any advice is appreciated.

Okay guys, i give up. OpenVas is unable to run on KVM i guess....

I tried:
CentOS 7
CentOS 6
Ubuntu 14.04
Ubuntu 16.04
Debian 8

OpenVAS never worked on any machines. I followed the guides on the official page... Unfortunately i need to find another software with same knowledge....

Greetings,

I have the same problem when running a new scan openvas presents the following message "Internal Error"

Does someone know how to solve this problem?

When run the command openvas-check-setup indicate that the installation is OK

It seems like your OpenVAS-9 installation is OK.
