TOPICS?
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user in the meeting may select the topics.
We won't pick just one ahead of time. We will accept suggestions and
requests, as the course of the meeting will be entirely up to those
that attend. Join us to share the knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving and effective techniques.
We can mostly explore the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI),
as it is easy to use, often familiar, and friendly to use. We will NOT
focus on the Command Line Interface (CLI) as it is seldom required and
generally optional for day to day use. However, it has many benefits.
We have access to many formal slide show presentations; but, we use
them only to present information and encourage discussion. We encourage
and prefer lively interaction and user questions. We always want user
questions to be asked. We never think that any question is too dumb.
A selected topic will NOT restrict the course of our meetings. These
topics are tentative. They are only suggestions.
Order of Events:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call For Help during our Questions and Answers period.
Sometimes we will watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.

TOPIC: openVAS ~ Major Upgrade
By Tony Zafiropoulos, Systems Engineer, CISA Certified
OpenVAS (Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner) is a full-featured
vulnerability scanner. Its capabilities include unauthenticated testing,
authenticated testing, various high level and low level Internet and
industrial protocols, performance tuning for large-scale scans and a
powerful internal programming language to implement any type of
vulnerability test.
OpenVAS is a GUI (and command line) scan vulnerability system.
Tony gave a talk about openVAS a few years ago when we were meeting at
UMSL's incubator. Now, he wants to tell us how its latest release is
a "fork-lift upgrade" which has some major changes. that you need to
prepare for.
OpenVAS dates back to 2009 and the project is maintained by a
commercial/open-source company. With its focus on the enterprise
market and its long history, any risks of enterprises adopting a
technology that might become abandoned are greatly reduced.
- Can perform various types of authenticated/unauthenticated tests
- Supports a variety of high- and low-level Internet and industrial
protocols
- Has an internal programming language that can be used for implementing
custom vulnerability tests
- In the last quarter:
149253 CVE profiles in scan engine,
63580 vulnerability tests available for the scan system to test
the environment.
Tony will discuss the install process, and configuration. He will show
his test environment.
Discussion of latest release OpenVAS install and operation, here are
some details:
The Greenbone Community Edition version11(formerly OpenVAS) on Kali
Linux 2020.2. production
The Greenbone Community Edition version11 (formerly OpenVAS) on Kali
Linux 2020.3. test
BIO:
Tony Zafiropoulos, CISA is a Certified Information Systems Auditor® and
a frequent & long-time contributor to SLUUG. When not speaking to us,
he runs the consulting company FixVirus.

His most recent talk to our group was on the Kali Linux distro which

BASE: Hand Held Music Box by Lee Lammert
Ever wanted a multi-purpose stereo system that can be managed
remotely? One built from that spare Raspberry Pi? Well, .. my answers
were affirmative, so I grabbed a Pi and got to work.
This tutorial will follow my creation of a Pi based MP3 player that
could also be used for things like YouTube. This session might show
factors common with both personal and enterprise computing.
MAIN: Customized "whereis" project by Bob Hansen
'Where Is It?' a script based system to help you remember where you
put your stuff and be able to retrieve it. Either by Number and/or
Acronyms (of your choosing). Think of it as a customized "whereis"
command. Although this custom command itself is useful, this talk will
also demonstrate how such customization can be done.
This will be HANDS-ON with git repository provided.
