I’m trying to update Greenbone but without success.
I’ve been reading about the updates and I realized that this problem is not knew but unfortunately I could solve yet.
My greenbone is Version 22.4.0 (community edition).
I run
/usr/sbin/greenbone-nvt-sync
/usr/sbin/greenbone-certdata-sync
/usr/sbin/greenbone-scapdata-sync
without success.
I get “…89.146.224.58|:80… failed: Connection timed out”
After that,
I add the line in /etc/hosts:
45.135.106.143 feed.community.greenbone.netfeed.openvas.org
and run:
sudo greenbone-nvt-sync --verbose --rsync
sudo greenbone-certdata-sync --verbose --rsync
sudo greenbone-scapdata-sync --verbose --rsync
And it seems that worked, but when I check the separator “administrator”->“Feed status” in the Greenbone page, I notice that the updates were not succeeded. The NVTs, CVEs, etc, keep outdated.
I run
/usr/sbin/openvasmd --update --verbose --progress
and I get “Updating NVT cache… \ done.”
I run:
/etc/init.d/openvas-manager restart
/etc/init.d/openvas-scanner restart
reboot the machine and now I check the NVTs are updated (the status = current) but just a few minutes because after that the status return to “21 days old” again. The SCAP (CVEs and CPEs), CERT and GVMD_DATA keep outdated (in the separator “administrator”->“Feed status” in the Greenbone page).
@Fabio1 please follow a single guide and don’t mix things. From you first message I am really sure you didn’t run an up to date version of our software and instead used OpenVAS 9 which is very very very very very old. The feed scripts from this version wont work anymore because they use outdated and shut down servers.
