Seccubus 1.5.4 - OpenVAS-Client 3.x compatibility release

Today I released version 1.5.4 of Seccubus, this is a OpenVAS-Client 3.x compatibility release that does not fix any other issues. If you are not an OpenVAS user there is no need to upgrade.

Currently there is only a tar.gz file on SourceForge, the two rpm files will follow soon.

Here are the releasenotes:

7-2-2011 - OpenVAS-Client 3.x compatibility release

This release fixes an OpenVAS-Client 3.x compatibility issue reported and

fixed

by Brad Alexander

Frank,

Please find the attached do-scan script. The problem was that OpenVAS-clients

versions 2 and before as well as nessus (all versions that I was able to test)

use -v to determine the version, whereas OpenVAS-Client version 3 (and

presumably version 4, which is in alpha/beta now) uses -V

As a quick fix, I reversed the test, so that it tests for nessus rather than

openvas-client, as follows

Is it nikto? -> yes -> run nikto test

  | no

 V

Is it nessus? -> yes -> run nessus

  |

 V

It's openvas -> run openvas

Note that I have the following versions of the tools to test against:

OpenVAS-Client -> 2.0.5, 3.0.0 (server version 3.0.4) Nessus -> 2.2.10, 4.2.2

and 4.4.0

In any case, let me know your comments on my changes. I can send you a diff

file, if you prefer, when I get home. The license, obviously, on my changes

are gpl, but I got bitten on not specifically stating that on my blog.

Thanks,
