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.
