OpenVAS troubles

---

I am changing my career from Sysadmin to SecAdmin and I've been trying to use OpenVAS. I was able to do it only once until I started getting various errors on different computers.

1. Installed a VM in HyperV at my work computer:
   Error - The feed doesn't update, even though other VMs on the same host work fine.

2. Installed a VM on home computer:
   Error while scanning: "Could not connect to scanner".

3. Installed it in my Kali VM on the same home computer
   Error - "Please install the OpenVAS scanner"

Any ideas about any one of those errors? I tried to search but couldn't find anything concrete and decisive.

@Vikas-Sequeira,

I've moved this topic to hopefully help bring some attention to your post.

Hey there @Vikas-Sequeira

So sorry to hear that you're having issues with OpenVAS.

Here is a post that may help you. It is a step-by-step installation guide for OpenVAS on Kali Linux and was written around the end of Feb 2020.
