openvas test results
-
@irj Yes. There are a couple forum posts about it, but they apparently haven't changed the default detection of it as bad.

Today i scanned an IIS server.
It showed these results, which seem quite frightening. I am only interesested in the two i marked.
Now, these two items score above 9 on openvas scanner, which means openvas thinks they are very bad.
Then i log into the server, check for updates from Microsoft Update. Server says it is fully uptodate.
Then i try to actually navigate the links from openvas on technet/ms catalog/ms docs/etc. to download these single updates. What a nightmare those sites are.
I finally get the standalone update downloaded, install it, and "This update is not applicable to your computer." So i guess that means it is installed? If so why is openvas saying it isnt, and being so confident(80%) that it is. -

IIS 8 on Server 2012.
I suppose it is possible that even at 80% this is a false positive detection.
Windows update screen
The optional update is for SilverLight -

Windows update screen
The optional update is for SilverLightIt could be that Microsoft hasn't released those updates for 2012. Isn't 2012 only covered under extended support now?
Edit: Answering my own question, normal support for 2012/2012R2 ends in 2018.
Accordingly, you should be able to apply those updates.
-
I think they are applied and that openvas is being dumb.
-
The updates that openvas says are missing are actually installed.

Does anyone still have an OpenVAS scanner going?

I use mine every couple weeks. It is off right now

I'm asking because I don't have anything set up, and was curious if anyone could do a non-intrusive vunlerability scan against my VPSs, one on GCP and one on turnkeyinternet?
I'd like to compare the results...
-
If you give me ip and port i can setup and run a scan. It is incredibly slow here this week. I shouldnt even be in the office.

See what comes up just from that info.

Ok scanning now
edit: openvas tripped the IPS and got banned from all net activity for 20 minutes while scanning these sites, so it was working. -

@tim_g I meant my IPS. It has resumed scanning after the 20 minute ban.

Ah I see

These scans take about 50x as long over the internet as internally, even over a Gb WAN connection.
Do you want me to post results here as screenies or do you want a pdf pm to you? -

If it's just saying "hey these are the open ports", public is fine. I can already tell you SSH, Cockpit, Salt, and MC ports are open on the one VPS... as they should be.
If it gets deep into things that are a real vulnerability, that are fixable, then I'd rather keep private until I can fix them... then I or you can post them publicly.

Ok you can decide, ill send them when done. One is at 98%, the other 16%.
So far i have had to lower QoD to 0 and include Log and FP to get anything to show on results page.
