You're welcome Sir.

I have OpenVAS (latest version) installed in docker-compose mode and gvm-feed-sync is not available in the gvmd container. Same for a few other binaries that I've seen in other tutorials. such as openvasmd.

[@jpv1337]

what is the way to do it in docker?

@jpv1337, please check this link: forum.greenbone.net/t/update-feeds-in-docker/13456

/usr/local/bin/greenbone-nvt-sync must not be executed as privileged user root
Unlike the actual scanner the sync routine does not need privileges.
Accidental execution as root would prevent later overwriting of
files with a non-privileged user.
Getting above error.

Instead of updating just the NVTs, try to update all: #sudo gvm-feed-update

[@openvas3238]

That is a long process and you need to be patient and wait.

[@openvas3238]

Hi, no way out, you need to wait until the update in progress ends. It can take more then 10h

[@zaczaemnowezycie7021]

@@openvas3238 ohhh, thank You Sir! I will open again gvm! Thanks for the fast answer. I am making engineer diploma and want to use gvm like a 1st tool :)

@@openvas3238 Do we need to keep our VM running until it is updated? I have same problem but opening VM for more than 10 hr seems a little not practical. Guide me

[@openvas3238]

@@shivaneupane5330 , the answer is yes, but if you don't want to wait and you are using openvas only on your VM, you should consider to use The Greenbone Enterprise TRIAL at a Glance. www.greenbone.net/en/testnow/

[@lucaslindgren3237]

My updates takes very long but is it recommended to update it?

[@openvas3238]

Yes, the recommendation is to update, otherwise you will not be able to detect new vulnerabilities

[@lucaslindgren3237]

@@openvas3238 wow ok but is OpenVas the best vulnerability detector? or what would you say

[@openvas3238]

@@lucaslindgren3237 that depends on what you want to do, because OpenVas e network vulnerability what means that is focus on networks and if you want to scan a web server, you will need another scanner focus on web, such as Burp suite, etc. To compare those scanners you need to categorize, compare network vulnerability scanner and in another hand compare web vulnerability scanner. I would say that OpenVas is one of the best open source vulnerability scanner for networks.
