Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I installed OpenVas on a Centos 7 server and ran the checkup successfully.
When I run a scan to this ip address the results comes back empty and
it says;
The report is empty. This can happen for the following reasons:
The target hosts could be regarded dead.
I ran tcpdump but nothing happens when I run the scan
sudo tcpdump -i eth0 host 172.24.12.233 -v
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
I can run nmap and see the ports are open and I can ping and ssh to the target host from the openvas server.
