Nessus is a vulnerability scanner. My first disappointment with
Kali was that it excluded nessus from its vulnerability scanning tools.
However it ca be installed in the following manner. First download the
nessus debian package from the website (
here ). Go to the directory into which the package has been downloaded. I downloaded mine to Desktop. Then type the command
dpkg -i “package name” as shown below.
This will unpack all the nessus packages. Then what we need is only to start the service using the command
service nessusd start. This will start the nessus service.
Then we can just go to our browser as below and our nessus is ready to work. Nessus functions on port 8834 on the localhost.
