Hello, the OpenVAS developers are happy to announce that openvas-plugins 1.0.4 has been released.
This release is a maintenance release with an updated NVT collection. As with all openvas-plugins releases, it is recommended that you execute the openvas-nvt-sync tool provided by the openvas-server component after installing this release to ensure that your OpenVAS installation has access to the latest NVTs. Main changes from 1.0.3 are: * Several NVTs written in C have been removed from openvas-plugins since they have been superseded by other scripts written in NASL and were inactive for a long time (nmap_tcp_connect, hydra, snmp_portscan). * The integration of other security tools has been improved (ike-scan, hydra), support for additional tools has been added (strobe). * A large number of non-functional tests for Gentoo security issues with an unclear license have been replaced with updated, working NVTs licensed under the GPL2. * A large number of new NVTs has been added. * A large number of NVTs has been updated. * Support for retrieving package version information from a remote host has been improved. * Some GPLed NVTs that were part of the last Free Nessus feed release were added.
