Precursor: I am using OpenVAS/GSA on Kali GNU/Linux Rolling in VMWare
Running ‘apt-get install openvas’ returns: openvas is already the newest version (9.0.3kali1).
Looking in /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/ I have ‘CB-K13.xml’ and ‘CB-K14.xml’, but no ‘cert.db’
Running ‘openvas-feed-update’ updates NVT and SCAP, but CERT Data has the following issue (same issue if I run ‘greenbone-certdata-sync’ or ‘sudo greenbone-certdata-sync’ - doesn’t matter which one - CERT data won’t sync)
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in socketIO (code 10) at io.c(794) [receiver=3.1.3]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (612 bytes received so far) [generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(235) [generator=3.1.3]
Running ‘openvas-check-setup’ - everything looks good except for the CERT data
I’ve tried restarting, rebuilding, removing/reinstalling, everything else works well in the platform, but CERT data is not syncing.
From reading around the community site and other locations where I’ve seen a similar issue, I read that I might need to check if ports 24 and/or 873 are open (outgoing from this host) for rsync/ssh. Is that a good next step for me to check?
Scan are running with no issues at all - the product is solid - I’m just wanting to make sure I get this aspect of the platform working, as - the more info I get about detected vulnerabilities, the better - IMHO.
Thank you all in advance for any assistance with my n00b question.
Best Regards,
Justin
