Nessus

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

In order to install Nessus v3.0.5, you will need to register at the Nessus web site. Once registered, you will be able to download the necessary RPM and you will receive a activation code via email which will be used to activate your installation.
