Installation method / source: Kali Linux Repo & Manual Compile
I have been on this for a few days now, and I can’t find the issue even after trying Ubunutu and manual compile, Fedora via Atomic, Fedora and manual compile, and finally Ubunutu with kali linux repo. I keep getting the following error when trying to run scans when the Alive Test for target is set to anything but consider alive.
libgvm boreas:WARNING:2021-07-09 02h27.40 utc:117766: set_socket: failed to open ARPV6/ICMPV6 socket: Address family not supported by protocol
libgvm boreas:WARNING:2021-07-09 02h27.40 utc:117766: start_alive_detection. Boreas could not initialise alive detection. Boreas was not able to open a new socket. Exit Boreas.
It be nice to get the other 8 options working.
