⁠Nessus

The Most Widely-Deployed Vulnerability Assessment Solution

Nessus has been deployed for vulnerability, configuration and compliance assessments by more than one million users across the globe. Nessus prevents network attacks by identifying the vulnerabilities and configuration issues that hackers use to penetrate your network.

⁠Why

There isnt a Docker image that works. So I made one.

⁠versions

treadie/nessus:latest - Nessus vulnerability scanner 6.10.7

⁠How

⁠Prereqs

Buy a licence, or register for a home user at tenable.com

⁠Pull

To pull this image from the Docker registry, open a shell prompt and enter: docker pull treadie/nessus

⁠Usage

Run a container from the image with the following command:

docker run -t --name nessus -p 8834:8834 treadie/nessus

the command above is the minimum you will need to get the webui. Once you have that you can then register and download the latest plugings

⁠Register via cmd line

docker exec -i /opt/nessus/sbin/nessuscli fetch --register $LICENCE

_Note: $LICENCE assumes that you have added your licence string to the image variable. Otherwise substitute if for the real string.
