Hi all.
I’m running OpenVAS on Kali distro and and everything seems to work fine - except for scanning a Windows machine vulns.
I read that a package called “openvas-smb” is needed and for some reason I can’t find it anywhere on my Kali.
When checking “gvm-check-setup”, no errors are received and everything looks OK.
I searched for a guide on how to install this package on a KALI machine, but I couldn’t find it.
I would appreciate help on how to add this feature/package to my OpenVAS / Kali.
Many thanks
Unfortunately Debian / Kali currently doesn’t ship / is packaging the openvas-smb
package:
- 0004827: openvas-smb for the OpenVAS framework - Kali Linux Bug Tracker
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900130
Currently there are a few options if you want to use the openvas-smb
package:
- Ask the Debian / Kali for
openvas-smb
support / get external help to get it packaged - Uninstall the complete GVM Kali packages and build all GVM components from source by following Building 22.4 from Source - Greenbone Community Documentation
or if you prefer a ready to use solution (both are already shipping the openvas-smb
prebuild:
- The Greenbone Enterprise TRIAL VM (see Greenbone Enterprise TRIAL - Greenbone Networks)
- A Greenbone Enterprise Appliance (see Products - Greenbone Networks)
