Hi, [root]#
ls /usr/local/etc/nessus/
proxy= We can specify the proxy details in this file. If the file
is not found create a file like this in the correct path. Regards, Deva From: Brendan Bush
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Deva! I’ve already tried point 1) (as I stated
esrlier), and the machine does not have full Internet access, as it’s
sitting behind a web proxy server – that is the whole problem!!! I know that I need to enter the details of the web proxy server in the nessus-fetch.rc file, but I can’t find it, or don’t appear to
have one on the laptop!? Any more help, greatfully received! Thanks! BB From: Alagesan, Deva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Hi, 1) Try to find the path for nessus-fetch binary.. If it is
/usr/local/bin/nessus-fetch. Use &
exceute [root] /usr/local/bin/nessus-fetch --register xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx 2) Also check is the linux machine is having Full internet access for
this error “could not connect
to plugins.nessus.org – Operation now
in progress” Don't do any other steps apart from this. No need to use all-2.0.ta.gz
file also.. So goahead with the above steps... Regards, Deva From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Brendan Bush Hi! I’m a relative newbie to Linux but have been given the task to
undertake the installation of Nessus on a laptop to use as a
machine to test for vulnerabilities on servers. I’ve installed RedHat 9
(including latest updates) on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 (Pentium 4,
1700MHz CPU) with 512MB RAM, and then
installed Nessus 2.2.7 (via the source code, as I couldn’t get the
installer to work.) I’ve created a user for
the Nessus client, but I can’t get the Update Plugins to install
automatically. The Nessus web site says, for a manual update to the plugins, you
need to register and then follow the instructions in the e-mail
you are sent, which tells you to execute
the following command: /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx I’ve tried this but
this gives the output: “bash:
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch: No such file or directory”, as there is
nothing in the /opt/ folder! There are, though, copies of ‘nessus-fetch’
in /usr/local/bin/ & /root/nessus-core/nessu-fetch/ If I try swapping these locations into the command to
execute, above, I still get, though: “could not connect to plugins.nessus.org – Operation now in progress” And nothing happens. I can download the “all-2.0.tar.gz” file and extract it though, but don’t know where to put
the “*.nasl” files
that come from it! (That’s if it’s
actually possible to configure the software/updates this way!? I did then try typing-in: “/root/nessus-core/nessu-fetch/ --plugins” And I got the output: “Could not locally open all-2.0.ta.gz – file exists”! We run a proxy server, though you don’t have to log-in to get to
the Internet. I’ve got the Mozilla
browser configured, that comes with RedHat, with the Manual proxy configuration
for our proxy server and port (under ‘Edit’ > ‘Preferences’ > ‘Advanced’ > ‘Proxies’)
for HTTP, SSL, FTP, Gopher & SOCKS (v.5), and have also configured the ‘Network Proxy’, under ‘Preferences’ (in RedHat), manually with the same settings as in the browser. I’ve come across the file, “nessus-update-plugins.8”, at:
/root/nessus-plugins/docs/ which says, under ‘PROXIES’, “If you are behind a web proxy, then read the
manual page of nessus-fetch to configure nessus-fetch with a proper proxy
support.” I’ve found “nessus-fetch.1”,
of manual page type, and gone down to
the “PROXY
SUPPORT” section, where it says, “If you need to connect to the internet through a proxy,
nessus-fetch can be configured to use one. Simply edit the file nessus-fetch.rc and add the following lines,
changing the appropriate values where necessary: proxy=192.169.0.1 proxy_port=3128 proxy_username=renaud Proxy_password=s3cr3t” Unfortunately I cannot find a “nessus-fetch.rc” file, though I did find a ‘nessus-fetch.c’
file located at: /root/nessus-core/nessus-fetch/ Though not sure of any definite place within this file that could be edited with the above text! Help!!! Can anyone advise me how
I can get this set-up to update the plugins automatically, or, if not, where I might be able to place the NASL
files/plugins/updates I’ve
already extracted? Thanks! I’m in a bit of a
rush for this! Need it sorted by the end of the afternoon, if possible!!!!! Brendan B. Brendan BUSH - WAO ICT/
