I randomly wanted to install openVAS on PC.
I attempted greenbone docker container.
I attempted creating from source.
I attempted the docker guide from the local git repo.
I attempted the mikesplain docker container.
I attempted the kali specific openVAS on a VM.
Not one of them succeeded.
This was supposed to be a small venture to reinstall again since I hadn't used for a while.
1. The greenbone docker container setup has no documentation. One would assume I could spin up on 443 and it would work, but no.
2. I had some dependency issues on PC since a old kali repo I wanted to add. I halfway began on a VM, but it was giving me friction
3. I believe the local git repo docker files were outdated for some reason.
4. The mikesplain was complaining about cookies. There is a tryhackme guide with this method. Didn't work.
5. It was installed on kali VM and setup to the point where you can run a scan. The scans don't run. The only forum with relevant information has some anons explaining the way (which didn't work for me) or openVAS ppl directing ppl to kali since they oversee this one.
