Hello everyone! I have a dumb question on the feeds and what they do. Currently I have no issues in installing the nvts with the command greenbone-nvt-sync
. I only install nvts
since we only use nvts
for scans only. Nevertheless, I have seen an rsync nvt-feed
command to update a feed of several services which I do not know of. It looks something like this:
sudo su -c "rsync --compress-level=9 --links --times --omit-dir-times --recursive --partial --quiet rsync://feed.community.greenbone.net:/nvt-feed /opt/gvm/var/lib/openvas/plugins" gvm
Would these correlate to Greenbone’s nvt-sync
, and what would be the purpose of nvt-feed
s to greenbone-nvt-sync
? Also, should I periodically update both greenbone-nvt-sync
and the rsync nvt-feed
? Much thanks to anyone who can help me.
