Upgrading To Nessus v3.0.5
The Nessus license does not permit v3.0.5 to be included in the NST distribution. The following provides the steps necessary to upgrade a NST system to Nessus v3.0.5.
Requirements
- Registration at the Nessus site.
- A hard disk installation of NST v1.5.0 (a virtual hard disk installation will work - but is not optimal).
Caveats
- The "html_graph" option is no longer available as an output method (performing Nessus scans using the NST WUI will still be possible, but a little awkward).
- The upgrade disables the X GUI Nessus client. You will need to download a separate Nessus client package if you need this feature.
Instructions
Register At the Nessus Site
