Description

This test case tests the ability of OpenVAS to scan a host or network for vulnerabilities.

Setup

  • A remote host with various network services (SSH, HTTP, DNS, SMTP ...) is required. For example: a Linux server with OpenSSH, Apache HTTPd, ISC BIND, Postfix or Sendmail.
  • Open ports of the scanned services in the remote host firewall.
  • Ensure that openvas-scanner, openvas-libraries, openvas-client packages are installed.

How to test

  1. Start OpenVAS scanner: /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner start
  2. Create a new certificate: openvas-mkcert
  3. Add a OpenVAS user: openvas-adduser
  4. Update the NVTs: openvas-nvt-sync
  5. Restart OpenVAS scanner (take a while for the first time): /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner restart
  6. Start OpenVAS client: openvas-client (or System Tools > OpenVAS Client)
  7. Connect to OpenVAS server with the user created in step 3.
  8. Create a new scan using the client and wait until it finishes.
  9. Export the report to HTML or PDF.

Expected Results

  1. The scan should finish correctly.
  2. In the report, you should see the network services being scanned and vulnerabilities reported.
