Step 2: Configure GSAD
The Greenbone Security Assistant is a Web Based front end
for managing scans. By default it is configured to only allow
connections from localhost.


Allow connections from any IP? [Default: yes]
Restarting gsad (via systemctl):                           [  OK  ]

Step 3: Choose the GSAD admin users password.
The admin user is used to configure accounts,
Update NVT's manually, and manage roles.

Enter administrator username: admin
Enter Administrator Password:
Verify Administrator Password:

ad   main:MESSAGE:28965:2012-11-23 14h26.10 IST: No rules file provided, the new user will have no restrictions.
ad   main:MESSAGE:28965:2012-11-23 14h26.10 IST: User admin has been successfully created.

Step 4: Create a user

Using /var/tmp as a temporary file holder.

Add a new openvassd user
---------------------------------


Login :

Login : ramank
Authentication (pass/cert) [pass] : pass
Login password (again) :

User rules
---------------
openvassd has a rules system which allows you to restrict the hosts that ramank has the right to test.
For instance, you may want him to be able to scan his own host only.

Please see the openvas-adduser(8) man page for the rules syntax.

Enter the rules for this user, and hit ctrl-D once you are done:
(the user can have an empty rules set)

Login             : raman
Password          : ***********

Rules             :


Is that ok? (y/n) [y] y
user added.

Starting openvas-administrator...
Starting openvas-administrator (via systemctl):            [  OK  ]


Setup complete, you can now access GSAD at:

How to clone Virtual Machine in Sun VirtualBox

Tested with Fedora 15 + Oracle Virtual Box + Win2008  Vm

Simple copy through UUID error. You can't open/create new VM's

Following steps help me to clone VM.

1) Shut-down Original VM.

2) Find your orginal vdi location.

like mine :- [root@ramank win2008]# pwd
/home/ramank/VirtualBox VMs/win2008

3) Run following command to Clone VDI.

[root@ramank win2008]# vboxmanage  clonehd win2008.vdi win2008_r2.vdi

this takes few accordig to VM size.

4) Now create 2nd VM, & make sure choose new VDI location.

VBoxManage clonehd         | 
                           [--format VDI|VMDK|VHD|RAW|]
                           [--variant Standard,Fixed,Split2G,Stream,ESX]
                           [--existing]

The disk image to clone as well as the target image must be described either by its UUIDs (if the mediums are registered) or by its filename. Registered images can be listed by VBoxManage list hdds (see the section called “VBoxManage list” for more information). A filename must be specified as valid path, either as an absolute path or as a relative path starting from the current directory.

The following options are available:

format

Allow to choose a file format for the output file different from the file format of the input file.

variant

Allow to choose a file format variant for the output file. It is a comma-separated list of variant flags. Not all combinations are supported, and specifying inconsistent flags will result in an error message.

existing

Perform the clone operation to an already existing destination medium. Only the portion of the source medium which fits into the destination medium is copied. This means if the destination medium is smaller than the source only a part of it is copied, and if the destination medium is larger than the source the remaining part of the destination medium is unchanged.

Note

For compatibility with earlier versions of VirtualBox, the "clonevdi" command is also supported and mapped internally to the "clonehd" command.

Ref:- http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-clonevm

 Work like charm.

Enjoy

Best Tool to get Hardware details in Linux

Hardware lister (lshw)

lshw (Hardware Lister) is a small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or EFI (IA-64) systems and on some PowerPC machines.
