Hello Guys…

I’m facing off an strange situation in my fresh install of GVM-20.08.
Looks like option “Consider Alive” don’t have effect against targets that is blocking “ping tests”. Bellow a piece of log with “Consider Alive” option enabled on target:
…
sd main:MESSAGE:2020-09-09 19h54.00 utc:10250: The remote host 200.x.x.x is dead
sd main:MESSAGE:2020-09-09 19h54.00 utc:10250: Vulnerability scan 0fde8778-1ad3-4d20-8079-0df836f68a83 finished for host 200.x.x.x in 2.21 seconds
…

Searching in the forum, I found this suggestion ““Consider Alive” not working?”, that’s works fine. But, I think that option “Consider Alive” is the better way to show for my scan that hosts is online, correct? This is a issue/bug?

Hi, is there a simple way to install this patch?
We’re using the rpm way by atomic and so far we don’t know how to replace those files.

we did a new installation from scratch last week, and no have the “host is dead” error as well on every tasks.

You can checkout bsdiff and bspatch if you need to patch your binary or simply do a error-reporting at Atomic and request the patch to be integrated.

For long time without answer…
But I can’t leave you, Mr JJNicola, without my “thank you a lot”. Worked like a charm.

Best regards.
