I wanted to use the alert method scp, but found in the documentation
very few details.
My first tests were depressing.No report arrived in the planned storage
location. So I went to the search for the functionality. In the search
in the source code I found a promising script with the name alert in the
directory "openvas-manager-6.0.9/src/alert_methods/SCP/"
In the bash script two programs are used. Sshpass and scp. Because
sshpass was not installed in my debian, I installed it with apt-get
install sshpass.
The second test thereafter was as unsuccessful as the first.To analyze
the problem more precisely I wanted to install in the bash script a few
debug commands. But I had to find it first in the installation.
I found the script in the installation in a subdirectory of
/usr/local/share/openvas/openvasmd/global_alert_methods
I added the following lines after the line "REPORT_FILE=$6"
echo "Password= "$1 > /root/scp.log
echo "USERNAME= "$2 >>/root/scp.log
echo "HOST= "$3 >>/root/scp.log
echo "DEST= "$4 >>/root/scp.log
echo "KNOWN_HOSTS= "$5 >>/root/scp.log
echo "REPORT_FILE= "$6 >>/root/scp.log
The following test unfortunately failed again, it was not even created a
logfile.
In the following test I started the script manually with the appropriate
parameters to see if the file was transferred and whether a log file is
created.
root@sv-openvas ~ #
/usr/local/share/openvas/openvasmd/global_alert_methods/2db0
7698-ec49-11e5-bcff-28d24461215b/alert password root 192.168.1.119
/root/csv-rep orts/ 192.168.1.119 test.csv
With this call the file test.csv was transferred and a log file scp.log
was written.
I got serious doubts about whether the script was called at all.
Anyone using this functionality?
best regards
jochen
