==================================================================================================
The current version of kali linux is 2018.1. When installing openvas, an error is reported, and openvas cannot be downloaded and installed through the network.
The main error is that the source configuration is wrong. It may be that the kali used now has not been updated for a long time.
1. Solve and configure the update source problem
The apt-get upgrade error shows that it cannot be updated, and the apt-get install openvas error shows that it is impossible to locate package openvas
In the case of the root command line, using apt-get and apt-upgrade always reports errors, mainly GPG error and repository key expired ( ED444FF07D8D0BF6 ),
Go to the kali official website to check and find that the official website explains as follows,
Find the problem, there is no big problem, directly in the root command line, execute the following command,
wget -q -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add
Then execute apt update and apt upgrade on the root command line, no error will be reported, the update task will be executed directly, and the update will start happily.
2. Install Openvas
Wait for the update to complete, start installing Openvas, and enter at the root command line
apt-get install openvas
Start installing openvas. During the installation process, the system prompts that you need to update libs. According to the default selection, update the built-in libs (this step is time-consuming, but you only need to enter y all the way)
Wait for all libs to be updated, and enter the following input (this step takes a long time, and many files need to be downloaded. It is recommended to use the screen operation to avoid shell interruption)
openvas-setup
After a long wait and IO read and write, openvas has already run, but we still need to do the next step
3. Custom login password
At this point, firefox has popped up the openvas login window, the root command line already has the default password password, enter admin and the password in the red box below to log in to openvas
The initial password is generated by the system, it is long and abnormal, we have to change the default password
Enter the following in the root command line in order to perform the password operation, remember that you must first stop the service, then change the password, and then start the service
When openvas starts, changing the password has no effect
openvas-stop #Stop the openvas service openvasmd --user=admin --new-password=admin #Change the password to admin or any openvas-start #Start the openvas service
Of course, you can also use the default password to log in to openvas and change the password through the UI interface.
Fourth, upgrade Openvas
openvas-feed-update
5. Check the operation of Openvas
netstat -antp | grep 939*
The following two processes can be seen in the process
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9390 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 28390/openvasmd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9392 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 28388/gsad
6. Modify the OpenVAS remote link
openvas-stop
Edit configuration file
vi /lib/systemd/system/greenbone-security-assistant.service
Modify as follows
Start the service and see
openvas-start
netstat -antp | grep 9392
