This might be useful to integrate new versions into kali rolling:
https://community.greenbone.net/t/gvm-11-stable-initial-release-2019-10-14/3674

Beyond OpenVAS itself, I suppose it's a good idea to include the complete "GVM 11" release of the "Greenbone Source Edition (GSE)" into kali, as the "GVM" seems to be a renamed thing formerly known as "GSA", included in current kali 2019.4 as gsad (available on the CLI, that is, and used when starting OpenVAS in kali from the Applications menu).

As far as I can see, these tools look like extremely important tools for the whole pentesting ecosystem and greenbone seems to be very actively developing these tools.

This might also be useful: https://community.greenbone.net/t/which-gvm-variant-is-kali-shipping/2642
and this: https://community.greenbone.net/t/about-the-greenbone-source-edition-gse-category/176

The updated tutorial https://www.kali.org/tutorials/configuring-and-tuning-openvas-in-kali-linux/also from 2017 looks quite old now, 2 years seem like approaching eternity in InfoSec.

The community forum the upstream coordinates looks welcoming and helpful and might give advice if running into packaging difficulties.

The newer versions seem to have updated protocols and new facilities for easier integration of remote sensors.
The name changes might actually help in case you want to offer the "legacy" OpenVAS besides the newer, better tools without packaging conflicts and help people in transitioning custom scripts they might use.

Thanks for your report. We started to work on the update.

Note that an update of the manager database from GVM-9 (previously OpenVAS 9) currently shipped in Kali to the most recent version GVM-11 isn't directly possible:

https://community.greenbone.net/t/change-in-gvmd-migration-support/1770

and first need an intermediate step to GVM-10.

This might be interesting concerning the required GVM parts and their setup:

Is there an estimate on when KALI is about to update its distribution to include the last version of the scanner?

When can we expect an update of the openvas scanner, the error has been there for some time now !

0006405:0012831:

OpenVAS is packaged in the pkg-security team in Debian (we are involved in that team). Some OpenVAS components changed a lot and are hard to package properly. We don't have any ETA currently.

Do you have any predictions for GVM11 no kali? I'm having problems with openvas, all reports are returning this message that is attached.

A version of gvm 11 will be available in kali-dev: version 11.0.1~kali4 (available probably tomorrow after synchronization of mirrors).

WARNING: work is in progress. If you use it you may experiment issues especially if you already
have openvas 9 installed (you may lose your data, ...). A README.Debian documents the upgrade
but it has not been fully tested yet.

To try it you will need to add kali-dev in the sources list.
And install gvm

The scripts are not available via the Kali menu for the moment.
You can run them in a shell:
gvm-setup
gvm-start
gvm-stop

already I can install by apt in kali 2020-2?

Hello Sbrun, Good Morning.

First thanks for the feedback and alignment about this issue (in progress).

I have a plan to update my GVM9 to GVM11 only when the package will be on official Kali's mirror. Because until now my master and slave scanners are working correctly.

My question: Do you have a target date to finish your tests and adjust last features on dev environment?and a target date to put it into production?

I am waiting your answer and have an excellend week.

The remaining issues are for the upgrade: upstream doesn't officially support to bump from openvas 9 to gvm 11.
So we are trying to find a workaround if possible.
I'm working with the Debian maintainer to update the packages. We have no target date but I think it will be before end of july.

Hi Sbrun.

Thanks for your alignment.

yes. I can imagive that is a hard task find a workaround if possible.

For now, I am waiting the packages until end of July, and after that I can make my tests (on my environment), and I will give you an feedback if working properly or not.

Have an excellent weekend.
