Kali Linux 2016 2 – Installation Nessus Vulnerability Scanner
In new assemblies of Kali Linuks partially there are no tools which we got used to use when testing. Not an exception and Nessus. Nessus is a program for automatic search of the known defects in protection of information systems. She is capable to find the most often found types of vulnerabilities, such such as:
– Existence of vulnerable versions of services or domains
– Mistakes in a configuration (for example, lack of need of authorization on the SMTP server)
– Existence of passwords by default, empty, or weak passwords
The program has client-server architecture that strongly expands possibilities of scanning. For testing of vulnerabilities the special plug-ins written in the NASL (Nessus Attack Scripting Language) language are used. The base of vulnerabilities is updated weekly, however for commercial followers there is an opportunity to load new plug-ins without seven-day delay.
In this video we will consider how to establish and begin to use the free Nessus version in Kali Linukh 2016.2.
