Nessus Within Clean Access Questions

[paulhignutt]

OK, so how exactly do you download (preferably in bulk) pluggins for Nessus 2.2 within CCA to use for network scanning? The confusion I have comes from Teneable wanting a plugin feed from the individual resource, and CCA having a manual plugin update screen. There is no clearly defined process I can find in any of the documentation.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Well, just incase anyone else needs to know how to do this....

1)

Go to:

http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=register

And register for a plugin subscription via providing a valid email address.

2)

You will receive an email from Nessus, and in that email will be a link to

"If you are offline :"

Use that link, enter your registration code and download the file with all of the plugins.

3)

Rename the file to "plugins.tar.gz"

4)

Go to

Device Management > Clean Access > Network Scanner > Plugin Updates

From within the CAM, and then upload the file.

Shazam, you've uploaded the plugins. I'm posting this only because it wasn't painfully obvious to me how to do this, and it wasn't in the documentation.

Or, you can go here:

http://www.nessus.org/nasl/all-2.0.tar.gz

and then rename the file to "plugins.tar.gz"
