PROFILE
Arno Stiefvater
Contributed to the greenbone/openvas-scanner project by standardizing default configurations and improving API clarity over a two-month period. Focused on configuration management using TOML and YAML, the work included aligning default scanner and storage settings to streamline deployment and reduce onboarding friction. Additionally, addressed API non-conformance by deprecating the host_info.scanning member and updating documentation to clarify its behavior, thereby reducing misuse risk for downstream integrations. These changes enhanced maintainability and set the stage for future architectural improvements, demonstrating a methodical approach to both configuration and API development while ensuring backward compatibility and clear guidance for users.

Jan 1, 2026In January 2026, the OpenVAS Scanner project advanced API safety and clarity by deprecating the host_info.scanning member and documenting its non-conformant behavior, setting the stage for the next major version. A focused deprecation notice was added, and documentation now clearly states that host_info.scanning returns host-progress pairs rather than a simple host list, and should not be used for progress calculations. This reduces misuse risk for downstream integrations while preserving a pathway for future architectural improvements.
