In my last blog post, we set up a FreeBSD virtual machine with QEMU. I switched from the EDK2 (UEFI) firmware to U-boot, the EDK2 firmware had issues with multiple CPU’s in the virtual machines.
In this blog post, we’ll continue with the Network setup, install the virtual machine from a CDROM image and how to start the virtual machine during the PI start-up.

I got a Raspberry PI 4 a couple of months back and started it use it to run virtual machines.
This works great for GNU/Linux distributions but FreeBSD as a virtual machine didn’t work for me. When I tried to install FreeBSD or import a virtual machine image, FreeBSD wasn’t able to mount the root filesystem and ended with an “error 19”.
On the FreeBSD wiki, there are a few articles on how to use ARM64 FreeBSD with QEMU directly.
You find my journey of getting a FreeBSD Virtual Machine below.
I use Manjaro on my Raspberry PI, but the same setup will work with other GNU/Linux distributions.

In my previous blog post, I described how to install OpenVAS, in this blog post we will configure and execute a security scan with OpenVAS.
OpenVAS documentation is available on the OpenVAS developer website Greenbone: https://docs.greenbone.net/
Logon to the Greenbone Manager assistend at https://127.0.0.1:9392.

OpenVAS is an opensource security scanner it started as a fork of Nessus which went from an opensource project to a closed source scanner.
I always prefer opensource software, for security tools, I even prefer it more… It nice to see/audit where the security data comes from, instead of the “magic” that is used by the close source software.
To scan for missing patches on your systems there are faster/better tools available that can be integrated into your build pipeline more easily. But OpenVAS is still a very nice network security scanner. Relying on one security tool is also not a “best security practice”.
Kali GNU/Linux has become the default Linux distribution for security auditing pen testing, it’s nice to have OpenVAS installed on your Kali GNU/Linux setup. If you just want to have OpenVAS available there is also a (virtual) appliance available from the OpenVAS developers ( Greenbone ).
You’ll find my journey to install OpenVAS on Kali GNU/Linux.
