Hello, today, OpenVAS-4 was finally announced. We have made significant progress across all aspects with this release. You can find details here: http://www.openvas.org/news_archive.html#openvas4 With regard to Nmap we established * Wrapping of 77 NSE scripts so that these can be accessed, managed, handled via the OpenVAS management framework. This was discussed on nmap-dev some time ago and our works were completed early this year. See here for the code: http://wald.intevation.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/openvas-plugins/scripts/nmap_nse/?root=openvas To me this is not the final solution for getting Nmap and OpenVAS scripting effords streamlined. Far more mutual benefit is possible. * Network-level scans to allow Nmap show how efficient it can run: OpenVAS now makes ist possible to run a Nmap scan across the whole network and prepare detection information for each host for subsequent vulnerability analysis. Previously the only method was to run Nmap again and again for each single host to run the port scan and service detection. This feature is not the default in OpenVAS-4 yet, but personally I'd like to see it becoming the default behaviour. We are now working on a tighter integration of the Nmap results for OS and service detection with some special emphasize on how we can take advantage of CPE. However, July 7-9 2011 we will have the 3rd OpenVAS developer conference over here in Germany where the questions on how to deepen the OpenVAS-Nmap coupling should be discussed. Nmap developers are of course very welcome to join us. Any ideas, proposals or other input is welcome any time, naturally.
