Offline Plugins Linux:
1. Generate a challenge code by running the following command:
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --challenge
2. Go to https://plugins.nessus.org/offline.php and paste the challenge code, as well as the Activation Code into the appropriate text boxes.
3. After entering the challenge and activation code, the website will produce a link to download the latest Nessus plugin feed, as well as a link to download nessus-fetch.rc at the bottom of the screen. Be sure to save this link as it will be needed each time you want to update your plugins.
4. Copy the nessus-fetch.rc to the following directory: /opt/nessus/etc/nessus/
This will only need to be copied this one time, and not each time you download the plugins.
5. To register your scanner in offline mode, run the following command:
/opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register-offline /opt/nessus/etc/nessus/nessus-fetch.rc
(Syntax is nessus-fetch --register-offline <file.rc> )
6. Next, copy the all-2.0.tar.gz file downloaded from the website to the Nessus sbin directory, and run the following command:
# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessus-update-plugins all-2.0.tar.gz
7. Once the plugins are installed please rebuild plugins database:
# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessusd -R
8. Finally, restart the Nessus Server which can be done by running the following two commands:
# service nessusd restart
