The application services are running on a web service on TCP 8834Ĭlick CONTINUE then enter your activation code:Ĭlick CONTINUE then create a user account: This is essentially a cockpit for the appliance a bit like this: We can configure our appliance management system here. Now create a new username and password (must be 14 characters and complex) (Red Team/Penetration testers take note of this as if you find an appliance and someone hasn’t configured this default creds could give you root access). We now use a web client to browse to the appliance: In this example the appliance is on a segment with DHCP. Once the OVA has been deployed you need to power on the VM. For this blog I’m doing to deploy using the appliance for simplicity. We can install on top of an OS or use appliances from Tenable. Ok so we can deploy Nessus on Linux, OSX and Windows. First off let’s get an appliance deployed. Now we’ve got that part over, I want to dive into the configuring of scans and looking at the outputs! (The fun stuff!). Treating this as “just a scan” is a sure-fire way to not enable business value from these activities. Once you have the outputs they need to be understood, contextualised and they need to feed into risk management, vulnerability management, patch management etc. Outside of scanning isn’t that simple to start with, you also need to realise vulnerability identification is just one part of vulnerability management. Just please, please don’t think “it’s just a scan”, this isn’t like you click one button and the job is done. I’m not going to go into detail on all these areas, hopefully it’s obvious but if not shout at me online and I’ll write more about this part. It’s coupled heavily to many other processes such as:īefore we start deploying let’s think about some areas for consideration when performing vulnerability scans: Vulnerability management is key to inputting into security strategy, architecture, and operations. Vulnerability Management, Assessments and Vulnerability scanning is sometimes treated a with distain in the Offensive security community, I personally don’t understand that.
