You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser.

RECOMMENDED CLIENT USE:
Instead of using a browser, it has been recommended to use the official
Jitsi appimage clients. Reportedly using the client consistently has
better results, with fewer connectivity, sound or video issues.
Appimage MS Windows, macOS and Linux client releases...

JOINING THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00pm Begin testing of controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking.
During this half hour period, others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset may result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at-least earbuds is highly
recommended. Using Ethernet is better than WiFi connectivity.
**** USE OF ICEWEASLE, SAFARI or FIREFOX BROWSER NOT RECOMMENDED ****
Joining our session using any Firefox based browser is NOT recommended.
Previously known Firefox compatibility bugs caused problems for others
already in Jitsi sessions. You might not have problems; but, your use
of Firefox would cause others to have problems.
**** USE OF ICEWEASLE, SAFARI or FIREFOX BROWSER NOT RECOMMENDED ****
If you do not make the effort and take the time to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Try dropping your
connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues. But, do so slowly,
as granting access to your microphone and camera too quickly is the
current main problem. Also, there are often sound settings in different
browsers that may need to be changed.
======================================================================
WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:
Do NOT remain showing as Fellow Jitster. Set your identity to show
first name and last name. We do prefer that you use your full last
name. Instead of full last name you could just follow first name with
an initial.
Going into the chat room may allow you to set your name there. Or, at
three vertical dots (more actions) in lower right hand corner, select
Settings, then under Profile "Set your display name" (you can ignore
the "Set your gravatar email block").
Meeting will be recorded for attendance tracking and quality control.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
START OF MEETING:
6:30pm The meeting starts.
Assistance with controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking ends.
Anybody joining after 6:30pm that experiences issues with controls,
hearing, screen sharing or speaking should only use chat room to ask
questions or make comments.
Annoying disruptions may cause you to be kicked off the session.
You might be muted on entry, so join early if you want to test your
camera or microphone. Use letter V on keyboard to toggle your camera.
Use letter M on keyboard to toggle (mute or unmute) your audio. You do
not need a camera, nor microphone to watch and listen with your browser.
All might be muted at this point. You may have to unmute yourself
in order to speak. You can ask questions and make comments in chat room.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
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.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
TOPICS:
Whatever the newest user needs to know.
The newest user at the meeting may select general and specific 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 our knowledge, learning experiences,
problem solving, techniques and troubleshooting.
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.

The monthly StL Linux User Group (LUG) mtng.
Thurs 17 March 2022
Discussion of latest OpenVAS install and operation, here are some details:
The Greenbone Community Edition version21.04(formerly OpenVAS)
on Kali Linux 2021.3.
OpenVAS is a GUI (and command line) scan vulnerability system.
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 last quarter(4Q21):
175383 CVE profiles in scan engine,
79195 vulnerability tests available for the scan system to test the environment.
Tony will discuss the install process, and configuration. He will show his laptop environment that is used it to scan onsite.
The version that came out in late 2020 was considered “a forklift upgrade” changing the functionality of openVAS.
The Greenbone Scan Cluster performs scans for external targets (public IP addresses, e.g., WWW servers, e-mail servers, etc.) or internal targets via Virtual Private Network (VPN). After execution, the scan results are transferred back to the cloud and made available on the platform in the form of reports.
The name openVAS is being depricated as it changes to the Greenbone name.
