Hello all,

I apologise if this is a double post, but I think the previous one was not
delivered.


I am copying from: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/
184683/change-settings-to-scan-a-printer-with-openvas

I have Openvas 5.1.1 (gui: Greenbone Security Assistant Version 7.0.2), in
Kali VM.

My problem is that the Openvas Default scan (either fast, deep, etc),
misidentifies my linux server as a printer (it has happened before with
other servers as well). Scan result includes

Solution

If you want to scan the remote host, uncheck the 'Exclude printers
from scan' option within the 'Global variable settings' and re-scan
it.


Using the web UI, I can see the settings, including 'Exclude printers from
scan' (screenshot attached in the link).

but I can't find out *how to change it*. The configuration files doesn't
include any such option:

root@kali:~# find / -name openvas*conf
/etc/openvas/openvasmd_log.conf
/etc/openvas/openvassd.conf
root@kali:~#
root@kali:~# cat /etc/openvas/openvassd.conf
kb_location=/var/run/redis/redis.sock

Actually the documentation doesn't include that option for the
openvassd.conf file, at all:
http://www.openvas.org/compendium/advanced-configuration-server.html

 Any ideas?
