From the Tenable blog post:

Nessus recently added capabilities to perform configuration and compliance audits in two major areas of the enterprise. First, Tenable added the ability to audit enterprise Cisco networking equipment, namely Cisco’s Nexus NX-OS. Then, we expanded and greatly enhanced support for auditing VMware vSphere and vCenter. Now, we’ve added support for auditing NetApp Data ONTAP storage devices. The new .audit is primarily based off the NetApp hardening guides (technical reports TR-3649 and TR-3996).

Installing Nessus on Kali Linux

1) First step is patch your Kali Linux system.
> su – root
> apt-get update
> apt-get upgrade

2) For some crazy reason Nessus is not part of the default Kali tool set. There must be some drama between these guys. The kali apt-get repositories don’t have nessus so you must download the deb package from Tenable.

Choose the debian 6 x64 package here:
http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus/select-your-operating-system

Register to get a key for the home feed here:
http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus/nessus-homefeed

3) Install nessus.
> su – root
> cd /to/path/of/nessus/download
> dpkg -i Nessus*.deb
> rm Nessus*.deb

4) Register nessus. Obtain the key from the email sent by Tenable when you registered. It will be used to register your home feed and authorize your instance to download plug-ins.
> cd /opt/nessus/bin/
> ./nessus-fetch –register “1234-ABCD-5678-EFGH-9101”
Note: there are two dashes “–” in front of –register
> cd /opt/nessus/etc/nessus
> cp nessusd.conf.imported nessusd.conf

5) Start nessus.

> /etc/init.d/nessusd start

6) Nessus takes about 10 minutes to initialize the first time. Launch a browser and enter https://localhost:8834 to see if its ready. When ready the wizard will start. Create a user, enter the word offline for the registration (since you already did this above) and then login.
