So nessus is not in the repos, but I installed the Debian 6 package from Tenable. It installed and works fine from my testing.

Yep. You even get the HTML5 version, which is very nice and works well.

How to install Debian 6 package from Tenable ?

Here's how I did it.

Download the Debian 6 Package to /tmp on Kali for your specific architecture either i386 (32-bit) or amd64 (64-bit)

http://www.tenable.com/products/ness...erating-system

Debian 6.0 (32 bits):
Nessus-5.0.3-debian6_i386.deb

Debian 6.0 (64 bits):
Nessus-5.0.3-debian6_amd64.deb

Unpack the debian package

In terminal type:

cd /tmp/

ar vx Nessus-5.0.3-debian6*

tar -xzvf data.tar.gz

tar -xzvf control.tar.gz

There will now be an "etc" directory and a "opt" directory.

Copy the nessus directory in /tmp/opt/ to the /opt directory, make the /opt directory if it doesn't exist.

In Terminal type

mkdir /opt

cp -Rf /tmp/opt/nessus /opt

cp -Rf /tmp/etc/init.d/nessus* /etc/init.d

You can now delete the contents of the nessus download in the /tmp directory if you choose.

To Run Nessus, from a terminal type:

/etc/init.d/nessusd start # this starts the nessus server

Open a browser and navigate to: https://127.0.0.1:8834

Follow the remaining instructions. You WILL NEED to obtain a key/license from www.tenable.com even if only for the "free" version.

Kali, like Backtrack is meant to be run as root, and NOT really meant to be a primary operating system. By default, apache and mysql services require root privileges to start/stop/restart. You CAN alter this, however, this is not recommended.

You can download directly match your terminal architecture nessus deb package, and then install them manually.I downloaded the latest version 5.03, the installation was successful.

I did all of this, but when I run nessusd start, It says nessus not installed properly.. am I missing something?

[shoeless]

I don't have to much to input other than I have been able to get Nessus successfully working with Kali. Good luck!
