Whether NessusCleint and Nessus Server are available as two different packages or they have been merged into a single package.
Earlier there used to be 2 diff packages one for Nessus Cleint and other for Server. But now i was not abel to find any package for clinet and in the only package thats available on nessus.org also does not contain any cleint in it.
I am using nessus to evaluate the security of a web server. I have started up the nessus daemon on the server, here's the netstat output:
Code:

It's listening on the default nessus port 9390. I am trying to connect to the nessus server instance using Open-VAS Client. I have generated the client and server certificates, I have pointed the client at the User Certificate File, the User Key File and I have a CA cert. I have created a user account on the nessus server. The problem is that when I try and log in from the Open-VAS client it keeps saying it can't connect. Is there anywhere I can check to see if it's being caught in a firewall, or where I can see if the connection is even making it to the server..
i want to install Nessus gui by using yum .HOw to Play with it .i want to conduct
Vulnerability assessments on the victim machine/ip.Can we use it for online scaning.if yes ?then how to perform ?
I have a machine that I want to install Nessus on it.
Nessus supports many Operating Systems:
Microsoft Windows
Mac OS X
Linux
FreeBSD
The full list is here: [URL]... What would the best OS to install Nessus on for performance be?
I successfully installed the nessus. It was .deb file . first of all, I type
"sudo dpkg -i Nessus-4.2.2-ubuntu910_amd64.deb".
The output of this command was "You can start nessusd by typing /etc/init.d/nessusd start"
That's why I type that command and I get " $Starting Nessus : ." There is nothing like interface of this software, when I try to search GUI from synaptic package manager. So What should I do ?
I want to install nessus. I run the following in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install nessus
I get a message that the package is not available and anther package replace it. However I am interested in nessus and not in openvas-client (the other package). So how can I get the nessus package.
I have a backtrack distro on a usb stick. I wish to do the following :-
(a) Partition the usb stick to have a ext3 filesystem, so that the instln may be persistent for the changes. But the fdisk utility creates partitions as dev/sdb1p1 and /dev/sdb1p2. These however, could not be accessed by mkfs utility. How to overcome this problem.
(b) Next , I downloaded the nessus .lzm file and put it in the /base/module dir. But unable to start the nessus daemon. It suggests an error regarding unable to create /opt/nessus and /etc/nessus/nessusd.conf. I think starting nessus as root would help but the problem persists!
I am using nessus 4.2.2. When running with command line:
nessus -q -x -T html 127.0.0.1 1241 myUser myPassword listTarget.txt output.txt
1241 is default port of nessus
The error throw out:
nessus : Could not open a connection to 127.0.0.1
But when I running nessus GUI by browser with localhost on port 8834 is ok.
Fedora 12
Nessus: 2.2.11-5
Authent: using passwrd
Client: GTK version
User: added with no rules
nessus-mkcrt: has been ran
Hosts.allow: hole made for localhost to nessusd with nessusd:127.0.0.1 (this took care of my ssl error)
Upon trying to log into daemon I get the cert then prompted with failed login. I am also not getting anything showing up in my logviewer (gnome). For most other daemons I have had them automagicaly pop up (denyhosts for example) how can I get nessus to show up as well.
After running
Code:
nessus-fetch --register <Activation Code>
I got
Code:
nessus-update-plugins could not be found in your $PATH
When I try to run a scan on localhost I get the message "nessusd returned an empty report".
Here's the entry in nessusd.messages
Code:
[Mon May 25 00:30:03 2009][13188] user mickey.harvey : testing 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) [13189]

[Mon May 25 00:30:04 2009][13188] user mickey.harvey : Kept alive connection
I would like to get the scan working and make sure that nessus is updating the plugins. I have been looking though the nessus documentation and tried searching on Goggle without any success.
after some tweaking i managed to get nessus installed on my machine. However i'm running into an issue when trying to add a user.The nessus daemon is running on my machine, i've registered. I think everything is peachy in that regard, but when i run:
Code:
zachadmin@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd restart
$Shutting down Nessus : .
$Starting Nessus : .[code].....
Obviously the command not found is my error, from what i understand there isn't a default user placed in the first time.So essentially i have thie program installed, but i can't access it.
I'm trying to turn an old Acer Aspire One with a tiny 8GB solid-state drive into a lean web server, so I'd like to remove as many packages as possible to free up space. It will be running a standard LAMP install and nothing else. Right now it has Ubuntu Netbook installed, so I need to know everything I can delete and still have it boot and run mysql, apache, etc.

After a fresh install of fedora 15 gnome 3 I need to download some packages so I can start working with it. but when I try to get them using yum or packagekit, servers are very slow, so i need to find a fast server for my connection like I used to find in ubuntu. there was an ability in package manager to ping all the servers and choose the best one, and I cant find such thing neither in yum nor in packagekit. Is there anyway to do that in fedora 15 ?!

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe're about to upgrade our Ubuntu server and are looking for a complete package set that includes a firewall, some kind of snoopy, and whatever else we "must have" or that would just be extremely useful. What do you guys find the most absolutely necessary and needed packages for running a linux server in regards to security and performance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a server running Ubuntu 10.04 server - no gui. In the list of updates today I see plymouth and plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text. Plymouth is a gui application (and not a very good one from what I recall from 10.04 alpha and beta testing days). So I don't understand why I would need it on a box with no gui.
If I use Webmin 1.530 to attempt the updates I unselect the two plymouth packages and then click Update Selected Packages. The list on the Update Packages confirmation page shows the two plymouth packages. I can unselect other packages and they do not appear on the confirmation page.
If I use apt-get upgrade I am again presented with a list containing the plymouth packages. Nothing in the apt-get man page jumps out at me as a way around all or nothing. I guess I could manually install the other 8 updates and not do the plymouth ones. I fear that they will keep appearing on the updates list each time.
I'm using a 64 bit Linux server (OEL 6.1):
I was trying to install Oracle Database on this server that I realized the installer requires some 32 bit libraries. For instance it was looking for libXp.so.6 which existed under /usr/lib64, but not /usr/lib. Even when I changed the installation script to look into lib64 for the library, it failed with an error from Java that it needs 32 bit and instead has found 64 bit.
I downloaded a bunch of 32 bit RPM packages and when I tried to install them, I got the error that a newer version of those packages is installed, which is not the case. Cause all previously installed packages are 64 bit. I was wondering why it thinks that 64 bit packages are newer version of 32 bit packages. And is there a way to solve this?
Looking for script that I can use to install a large set of packages in Ubuntu. Typically, when I'm starting a new server I have to do "apt-get install" on a bunch of packages. I'd like a script that I can add/remove packages from and say yes to all the dependency questions.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a Centos 5.5 server that some staff have installed some extra packages on. I'm in the process of building a 5.6 server and want to include the packages / updates from the previous server. Can this be done easily?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got two files. They both contain package names. Is there any way I can go through the package list on one file, and search to see if each package exists in the other file? What I'd want to do, is if the package name is found in the the main file, then go to the next line. If its not found then print that package name to another file.
I know you can use diff, but it doesn't seem to be that straight forward. As I understand it diff searches line by line, so if line one doesn't match line one in another file, then it prints it out. That's not exactly what I want.
I just really need an easy way to filter out the additional packages that exist on a new server. If I have a list of packages that aren't on the original server, then i can just delete them.
Not sure if I've made any sense but there must be a quicker way to do what i need to. It would take me ages to scan manually through the package names in each list, and highlight the ones i dont need.

I'm a bit of a noob at Ubuntu (I can use the terminal and stuff though), and I want to know if I can specify a custom server for downloading updates and packages.I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I want to use Adam Internet's FileArena server: [URL]... It's not listed in the list of servers and I want to know how I can add it or use it(because downloads from there don't count towards my download allowance).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am a total noob in the process of trying to build my own server. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 but when I did that I didn't have the computer hooked up with an ethernet or have any internet connection. During the installation process it was unable to set up DHCP, so I figured I would just do that later, somehow.
Anyways, I recently hooked up an ethernet cable from the server to another computer, which has internet.
I've been slowly working my way through the Server Documentation and am on the Networking chapter. It has given me the commands to install wireless-tools, ethtool, dhcp3 server and I've also tried to install gedit. Every time it gives me the error: E: Unable to locate package XXX
When I ran the sudo lshw -class network command I find that it recognizes both an ethernet interface as well as a wireless interface(my wireless adapter). BOTH of them say *-network DISABLED.
My goal is to enable both of those, but I am assuming I need to be able to locate the packages first. I installed the server edition using a USB pendrive. I still have the files on the pendrive, but I don't know how to make the server locate those files. I'm guessing it wants to access the installation files to locate the packages to install.
