Nessus pro offline plugins download

Today we going to learn how to download nessus offline plugins.

Before we proceed, we need to activate nessus with pro license key. 

I am assuming that the nessus is activated via offline and the license key is not used anywhere else. Remember this offline plugins update will work only those nessus in where the license code is present. A combination of challenge id and license code is used to download the plugins. When you upload the plugins, then it checks whether the same license is present there or not. If not it will allow you to upload the plugins but actually it will not update the plugins

Lets say, in windows server nessus is installed. 

Navigate the below location from command prompt and run below command:

C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus\nessuscli.exe fetch --challenge

You will get the challenge id. Copy that. Now go to the below link:

https://plugins.nessus.org/offline.php

Provide the challenge id and license code. Once you submit, you will get Custom URL for downloading offline plugins. Save the link as favorite. 

Now do the following to install the plugins:

Install plugins TAR file via the Tenable Nessus user interface:

On the offline Tenable Nessus system, login first. In the top navigation bar of the Tenable Nessus user interface, click Settings.

The About page appears.

Click the Software Update tab.

In the upper-right corner, click the Manual Software Update button.

The Manual Software Update dialog box appears.

In the Manual Software Update dialog box, select Upload your own plugin archive, and then select Continue. Navigate to the compressed TAR file you downloaded, select it, then click Open.

Tenable Nessus updates with the uploaded plugins.

Disk acquisition and access for IR

 Goal for this lab is after we acquire the disk in .E01 format then how can we mount this to linux system for analysis.  দুইটা scenario cover করছি: (A) simple E01 + LVM (single disk), (B) E01 + Software RAID + LVM (multi-disk, যেমন disk1/disk2) From the linux analysis vm like sansforensic vm, you need to run the following commands.  We need to first create the working directories : mkdir -p /mnt/case/img /mnt/case/data E01 + LVM (single disk) - First case. Step 1 — E01 mount: ewfmount Webserver.E01 /mnt/case/img ls -lh  /mnt/case/img total 0  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 32G Feb 16 18:21 ewf1 Ewf1 is a raw disk image. It's size and main disk size are same. This is in read-only mode. See the permission. Step 2 — See the partition layout : mmls /mnt/case/img/ewf1 কোন offset-এ কোন partition আছে (boot, lvm ইত্যাদি) note করুন। RAID sign ( 0xfd ) আছে কিনা খেয়াল করুন — থাকলে Scenario B তে যান। lvscan | grep VulnOSv2-vg mount -o ro,noexec /dev/VulnOSv2-vg/root /mnt/case/dat...
