Sorry, now I am going to quickly uncheck unrelated plug in families. And also some plug ins could very well crash the system. Now, you also have to be careful to check the plug ins, because every unrelated plug in will create congestion in the network and that prevents you from being stealthy. So, for example, the denial of service plug ins resides under this category. So this is actually takes its power from plug ins, every plug in performs a particular task and the Nessa's team divides plug ins into families. Now, here there are many compliance checklists, you can choose a bunch of them and run a scan, but for now I don't need that. This this could be a good benefit for you when you perform a vulnerability assessment.
How to use nessus to scan how to#
So earlier, we have discovered how to use the vagrant username and password. And you can also add ASH is as well as some other service accounts. Nessus will perform more tests on the targets if valid credentials are given. And under the credentials tab, Nessus gives you the opportunity to scan targets with custom discovered credentials. And also check here to prevent network congestion. I think I've said this before, but being stealthy is important, so you've got to check here to randomly scan targets. Now, you can specialize in reports, but I think it doesn't allow much more than that, this might be, if there is one, a negative side of Nessa's.
How to use nessus to scan windows#
I won't change anything under Windows and Malware segment. All right, so you have Web applications in our lab open in. Now, here under brute force segment, I want you to check this box to not try after a successful launch in. Assessment menu, it provides extra assessment configuration. And there's really nothing to change here. You'll find how to discover hosts and services, and you can also can figure out how to scan the ports on the target. So if you want under the permission tab, select can use as an option. So Nessa's provides you an ability to share your policy or scan with other users. All right, so let's give it a name and description, and that's going to be your first scan. So over here on the upper left corner, there's an advanced scan, so click here. But also, you have the option to start a custom policy. Now, for your purpose, you can choose one of them. Right, so now these are the predefined policies. So even now, I'm going to show you how to create a policy. So I would advise you to do the same, just follow along. Me, I always create policies because then I can use them in every penetration test that I do. Or you can create a policy and then use this policy for a particular scam. So create the folder and let's go into the folder. So what I'm going to do is quickly add a folder for my scans and name it PWI MSF. It has a pretty clear and clean interface. So just down to your credentials and hit the Sinon button. So in the beginning, you may see an initialization screen like this one. And then this will take you to the NSA login screen. OK, so open your browser now and type HTTP Escalon, Celeste Colly, Colen eight eight three four. So now I'm going to check the Nessa's service and started.
