I have 4Gb memory so it should be ok I guess. As for Kali, I am capable of installing every tools on my own (it's what I did in the past actually), but the main benefit of Kali is that it centralize all hacking tools in one plateform with some level of integration. So from a management perspective, it's easier and you gain time. I am actually more or less "testing" Kali since two years now, and I must confess that I am considering building my own plateform based on a more robust distro such as ubuntu or debian. But this is a highly time consuming task, and in the meantime my duties must go on... not speaking about having the feeling to reinvent the wheel, though.. :-)
Anyway thanks for your quick help. Currently my scans still go on.. :) Best, -----Original Message----- From: Reindl Harald <h.rei...@thelounge.net> To: openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] GSA crashes / OpenVAS hungs Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2017 17:06:21 +0100 Am 03.02.2017 um 16:57 schrieb tatooin: > Hi Reindl, > > And thanks for your answer.
