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

Download RPM and Copy To NST

Update Your NST WUI

Install System Update: U200706131

Setup/Start Nessus Via WUI
