BT4 Nessus 4.0.0 How to

[mfBaranian]

Basically it's the same procedure as in secure_it's tutorial for Nessus 3.2.1

http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=20221

Download packages
Nessus-4.0.0-ubuntu804_i386.deb
NessusClient-4.0.0-ubuntu804_i386.deb

As you can see I've installed the Ubuntu NessusClient package and you'll get some dependency problems with a solution further down in thread. (Don't bother with the debian package. You'll get the same result - missing dependencies)

dpkg -i Nessus-4.0.0-ubuntu804_i386.deb

Configure the certificate

# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-mkcert

Add admin user

# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-adduser

register here to get the activation key

# /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register 'here goes your key'

Now before installing the client you need to install some missing dependencies

apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-gui libqtcore4 libqt4-network libqt4-script libqt4-xml libqt4-dbus libqt4-test libqtgui4 libqt4-svg libqt4-opengl libqt4-designer libqt4-assistant

(all in one line)

dpkg -i NessusClient-4.0.0-ubuntu804_i386.deb

# /etc/init.d/nessusd start

And start the client from the Menu>Intenet>NessusClient or use the CLI

Enjoy!

Thanks muchly. Was getting a "Segmentation Fault" with the Nessus Client when trying to authenticate until I installed those dependancy packages you mentioned. Now its working nicely!

If anyone gets an error when they try to install the dependencies try running
apt-get update
After that it was smooth sailing. Thanks!

Yet another great tutorial!
A plugin that I use for Nessus 4 is called nessconnect . It show graphs and charts similar to but not as elegant as Saint for creating reports.

Description:
Nessconnect is a GUI, CLI and API client for Nessus and Nessus compatible servers. With an improved user interface, it provides local session management, scan templates, report generation through XSLT, charts and graphs, and vulnerability trending.
