need assistance. @adube1981 3 days ago i get all the way to where it asks me to create a username and password. and then a small popup in the top right corner says "Error: Activation Failed"

[@FCOHDEZ27]

Thank you so much for the detailed walkthru David 🙏. I was able to setup Nessus in my Kali installation just by following your video. I can't wait to see the scanning results of my work environment. I appreciate you David. Stay amazing! 😁

[@saschaaegerter1784]

Thank you David for putting out such quality content! You're a great motivation to me on my Cybersecurity journey❤

You're welcome!

[@rayturner1490]

A Big Thank you David your content as always in invaluable, I'm currently Starting my CCNA and this has helped a ton, you have a new devout follower.

[@Andreas-kp9pj]

Thumbs up is far too little for this high-quality video. Thank you, David!

[@davidbombal]

Much appreciated!

[@davidbombal]

Thank you :)

[@johnbaldwin143]

David a big thank you to you for providing an easy to follow guide. This is just another step in testing and securing not only my home network!

[@Bubbasaure92]

Thank you I always love your installation videos they are really detailed to follow and it feels like you take you’re time making sure the steps are understandable for hs

[@MrPenguin098]

Thank you David. I enjoy learning new tech.

[@davidbombal]

Glad to hear it!

[@abhishekvishwakarma3366]

Thank you, Sir David I'm glad That I'm able to do whatever you are teaching and also for the good content which you provide to us.

[@303topgun]

It would be helpfull for follow up video on mitigation of high and medium vulnerability

[@sandk75]

I second this, thanks for the great walk through and installation guide David.

[@haseebuetian]

I am also of the same opinion.

[@TheRealMrGuvernment]

Nessus should tell you what you need to do, otherwise search for the reported vulnerabilities and follow said instructions to fix.

[@ericnakayama286]

As always keep up the great work David! Awesome video, I learned so much! Thank you!

[@davidbombal]

Glad to hear it!

[@shannonwilliams9744]

Thank you David for all your videos really enjoy and learn something every time.

[@OsX86H3AvY]

Once you get the licenser code you can just NOT check the offline option, choose Expert, enter the code, then choose the registered trial option (I don't remember how it is worded) and then you're in. I used Kasm Workspaces also - download, untar, install, done - and then chose the Nessus container from within Kasm rather than installing on Kali, it worked well

[@nelsoncruz-os7nz]

Awesome content as usual. Thank you for supplying us with your knowledge. You rock!!

[@ghostinc7]

I usually use docker to run nessus from my VPS. Could be a good follow up showing people how to setup and use with a designated data directory!

[@elsniha]

Thanks 🙏 for all the Hard Work and tuition. Well Done

[@davidbombal]

Thank you! you're welcome!

[@NyamburaC-dx4ww]

So much appreciation for the Videos, and the time you took creating them and do you mind going deeper into the vulnerabilities please.Thanks

i am having a major issue, i keep getting unknown error occured in my feed, and i can't download plugins it says start - downloading nessus plugins failure failed downloading nessus plugins success succesful connection to the plugin server

[@bronxandbrenx]

Love this. So much effort done.

[@richardglabella]

This is great! Thanks, David. Just a tiny typo in the PDF (I think you addressed it in the vid) sudo apt install ./ Nessus-10.6.3-debian10_amd64.deb (no space between ./Nessus during the install). And when going to Nessus for Education Link be sure to fix the hyphen in the URL between foreducation. be sure to add a hyphen between for and education.

[@norbertt.t6444]

It worked like a charm - You are a great teacher , Thanks a lot

The search for 007 is over. He’s got the talent, swag, voice, and looks for the job.

[@avihayl7911]

Great video David! Can you expand on this subject and take it further? you can create a series taking it further and further each time. For example, next time include Ansible to fix infrastructure related issues (encryption vulnerabilities, patching old openSSH libraries etc) or create a whole CI/CD pipeline to push new updates to a web server running with log4j vulnerability. Thanks!

[@BongoMusicTheory]

Good interesting lesson. Thank you David.

[@davidbombal]

Glad you liked it!

[@JohnCastles-t1w]

Awesome! Thank you! As I continue to learn about cybersecurity, I really love the stuff you cover. I am always thinking about running different VM's but I always struggle with giving up cores, and memory space. If you could make a video about how to utilize these things and still keep performance I would be very interested. But I am interested in any content you provide. Thanks David!

[@rami.0092]

I highly appreciate what you did for us, Sir. You make complex things in easy ways. And I am waiting for the next episodes of Linux Basics for Hackers.😊👍🤞

[@davidbombal]

Will upload soon

[@wolfheart5408]

says license already in use instead of giving license key. I dont have any previous licenses either

[@albertlimani]

Great tutorial done with such finesse. I got an activation error but managed to work around it from terminal.

[@vishnushivalalp]

Please do a video about OpenVAS.

[@Steven-u5w]

Nessus so with this software you could scan for vulnerabilities and then patch then? With all the latest updates could you also change your host name? And encrypt this also change ports once you get to know the bad traffic, would this suffer actually alert to you of the bad traffic and log it for you? Like wire shark once you get to know your bad traffic 🚦⛔ Sorry for sounded like a beginner so you'd have one ethernet into your router and then the other ethernet into your network switch yes? And then subnet or would this be first? Before? Nessus your feedback most welcome. Maybe I ought to try and find you video on on on more information

[@georgioavanti4726]

Hello David. I want to thank you for the installing Nessus and showing how to use it. This will help me in my studies for cybersecurity & certified ethical hacking. Have a great day, Thank you again.

[@HopliteSecurity]

This was great, thank you for the video and keep up the great work :)

[@mauriciosolis6589]

I could get the license but the plugins are still downloading, so far, I'm unable to perform scannings, any suggestions, please? It takes longer than I expected

I am not getting scan option in nessus after doing all the nesscessary steps . It is showing offline mode and it is showing only settings options . How can i resolve this issue???

[@Ihab.A]

David this is great! Thanks. You have a huge collection of interesting videos. Have you already done a video on Metasploit and how to use it? I'd love to see your opinion and tutorial on this.

[@anamnesis726]

Again thank you so much for sharing! Nessus is a great tool! :)

[@davidbombal]

You're welcome!

[@dvdlpzus]

Do you recommend this Nessus over OpenVAS?

[@Mike.Kachar]

Is this Nessus install for just the limited use license (i think it's like 5 or 10 days), or does this give Nessus usage indefinitely?

[@jacktringoli3299]

I would love a mini follow up tutorial on nessus because everytime I've ever installed it my computers Wi-Fi stops working even after rebooting and I have absolutely no idea why I'm always forced to delete the VM and reinstall kali so I can use other tools instead of nessus And it sucks because nessus is cool and a great tool from the looks of it but idk why I keep having issues and I always install it just how it's done in this video

[@jacobjosiah-up1xl]

Thanks For the video David i really learned a lot 👍👍

[@davidbombal]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@angelogallo2971]

Thank you @davidbombal - installed and works like a charm. Please keep doing the doing!

What does their privacy policy look like? How does it compare to OpenVAS or Green Bone? Are they getting reports on network topology?

Hi David, Thanks a lot I found this video very useful and a host of other videos too that you make are super useful , I however got stuck at the activation stage it kept on showing me an error message saying "error: activation failed" have no idea why is that happening

[@nathanielsmith5566]

Can you setup multiple scan engines across various subnets? Let's say 5 scan engines (1 engine for each geographic region) managed through one console?

[@gamereditor59ner22]

That's cool! Thank you!

You're welcome!

[@strancho2003]

Can we scan off-prem devices with that? I guess it needs an agents installed on to report vulnerability?

[@ShawnA560]

thank you. can we install nessus agent on endpoints in this esential mode as well?

[@ajdinzutic]

hi David thanks for this video, exactly what i was searching for. i'm currently thinking about to get a Tenable Nessus® Professional license. Do you have any exp with it? We want to do security audits to our clients and export a PDF version with all listed vulnerabilities with the severity level. Or what do you recommend to use for startups?

[@jonk3361]

Thanks for sharing. One question though, how about iCloud email compared to gmail, is it encrypted? Thanks for taking my question

[@yanivos1]

hi David thanks a lot I have one question in the licensed host I have 3 of 16 used ///it means that i only can scan 16 host only??? is there any way to fix it?

[@alijarkas7]

What is the benifit of auto forwarding my emails from gmail to proton if the email is already stored in gmail servers and its data is already accessible by Google?? Another point to consider is that we can not consider Protonmail a secured emailing account unless it's used from both sides (sender & receiver), or the other side is a secured and not commercial email provider. Becuase securing your sent email won't make sense if the receiver mailbox is exposed!!!

[@lamienali8467]

what do you do if your router has like 64 vulnerbilitys and i dont have accses to my router my isp is blocking it any tips

[@linuxxxunil]

What good is any email service if Microsoft will be taking screenshots or apple doing that client side thing?

[@mohammadidris4481]

[@khervinlopera7791]

Hi, good day! May I ask what is the best between these tools, Pentera and Nessus?

[@itenthusiast5988]

@davidbombal Thank you sir. I learned two things today in this video. 1. How to install nessus 2. How to use it. Just when I needed the most for my interview preparation. Kind request: could you make a video on how to apply for cybersecurity positions for a 40yr old from not IT background and has 1yr It experience as desktop support and sysad but not employed for past 1.5 yrs. Also what are common interview questions to expect (subject and general), what they should know for soc, pentest, digital forensics incident response position (plus how those job roles would be) and salary negotiation. I know it is too much for the asking but today when I was learning about cybersecurity interview questions there was a question - which cybersecurity professional would you go for advice and you came to my head. So the request. Any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou sir 🎉❤

[@henrychua7911]

Hi David, I have a questions does most of the businesses or individual code their own script Nessus "NASL" plugins and compliant code for professional, expert and security center? I would like to learn this scrip; however, there are very few resources in the internet that teach users to scrip their own languages and most of the Nessus users recommend to use their pre-build by Nessus.

[@platodav]

Thanks, Mr. Bombal! Generally, how long does it usually take for the "update all components" and "update plugins" to be downloaded? Mine has been going on for hours now. Is it normal for it to take this long? Thanks

[@vyasG]

Thank you for this great video. Very helpful.

[@breakoutgaffe4027]

Thanks, David! How about a follow-up showing the exploit of a vuln discovered with this scan?

[@Z3rgatul]

Lol, exploits discovered here are pretty useless and you literally can't exploit them in any meaningful way

[@BerniesBastelBude]

Great content - as expected! However, one question: when trying to scan my Raspberry Pi, Scan Notes say "Host '192' was not scanned because it is a "restricted" IP address.". Any idea what i've done wrong? thx!

[@souhailbenameur2404]

I have downloaded Nessus Essentials to use on Kali Linux, but the plugins are taking a long time to install-almost a day-and I'm still unable to use the 'New Scan' feature because the plugins are continuously loading. I have tried all the alternatives, but I'm still unable to perform my first scan. What's the trick to fix the problem with plugins taking so long to install?

bug bounties program wont allow you to scan their stuff, they can do that also

[@ghostbyte404]

[@kafkakos3618]

Hello, I take it this only allows for a 7 day trial license period? So access to the latest plugins is stopped after 7 days.

[@mauriciosolis6589]

Does anybody else have to wait 'til the plugins are downloaded to start scanning? It takes longer than I expected. Anyway, great video tutorial

No one's going to answer this question because you can easily find the answer just by googling it. Don't be lazy

[@sev7463]

I don't understand how so many people are saying "Thank you" This method gives you a trial run of 16 scans only. Do you guys even try the stuff he's teaching before saying "Thanks" ?

[@davidbombal]

You are incorrect. From the Nessus website: "Nessus Essentials (formerly Nessus Home) is a free version of the Nessus vulnerability scanner. The activation code does not expire and can be used for as long as needed." "What is the difference between the offerings? Nessus Essentials - This is our introductory Nessus offering that is geared towards educators, students and individuals starting their careers in Cyber Security. Free of charge, you can use this tool to scan your IT assets for education purposes or even your home office (up to 16 IP’s). Nessus Professional - This is the first step into our more advanced Nessus offerings, geared towards consultants, pen testers and SMB’s. Nessus Professional provides unlimited IT scans to use anywhere to scan for vulnerabilities. Nessus Expert - This is our premium Nessus offering that we highly recommend for ALL consultants, pen testers, developers and SMB’s. Nessus Expert, built for the modern attack surface, allows you to extend beyond your traditional IT assets by fortifying your web applications, securing your cloud infrastructure and gaining visibility into your internet-connected attack surface."

[@sev7463]

@@davidbombal I followed your instructions to a T and when trying to upgrade the license we obtained via your method, the website told me to purchase a license as this one was not upgradable. I was left with a nessus that only gave 16 scans. Perhaps I'll try again and see if I made a mistake somewhere, thanks for taking the time to write back, have a good Sunday
