| slashtom | oh noes, what's happened to nessus. where is it? | 15:47 |
|---|---|---|
| slashtom | it's missing from lucid lynx, this is strange | 15:49 |
| ebel | slashtom: doesn't look like it's been there for a while | 15:50 |
| ebel | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nessus | 15:50 |
| ebel | hardy (~April 2008) was last release with it (I think!). Though that was the last LTS | 15:51 |
| czajkowski | all the pixie albums from ubuntuie I have will be moved over to the @ubuntuie ac | 15:51 |
| slashtom | damn | 15:51 |
| slashtom | how can you do penetration testing from ubuntu now? | 15:51 |
| ebel | slashtom: I'm sure you can still install it somehow.... | 15:52 |
| slashtom | but if it's not managed by apt, i may as well be using slackware | 15:53 |
| slashtom | debian has it, this is strange | 15:54 |
| czajkowski | is it in the software center? | 15:54 |
| slashtom | huh? | 15:54 |
| slashtom | what's the software centre? | 15:55 |
| czajkowski | where all the software you can install is listed | 15:55 |
| ebel | slashtom: 'software centre' = a GUI apt programme | 15:55 |
| czajkowski | so wondering is it there | 15:55 |
| ebel | slashtom: Though I suspect it still is in ubuntu, since launchpad lists packages for jaunty https://launchpad.net/nessus | 15:55 |
| ebel | (which is april 2009) | 15:56 |
| ebel | slashtom: pull down the apt source package for jaunty nessus, then rebuild the package? | 15:56 |
| slashtom | czajkowski: i only searched the apt-cache | 15:56 |
| czajkowski | ok | 15:56 |
| slashtom | i didn't know there was software in a different place | 15:57 |
| slashtom | ebel: i don't want to maintain the installation for each package manually | 15:57 |
| ebel | czajkowski, slashtom: you are both talking about the same thing. | 15:57 |
| slashtom | i will have to find out about alternative ways to penetration test | 15:58 |
| ebel | "ubuntu software centre" uses apt. apt-cache uses apt. it's all apt. :) | 15:58 |
| slashtom | grand | 15:58 |
| slashtom | it would annoy the crap out of me if you were forced to use a GUI for things | 15:58 |
| ebel | synaptic uses apt, aptitude uses apt, apt-get uses apt. There are many tools to do the same thing, like how Firefox and Chromium can access the same websites. | 15:58 |
| ebel | slashtom: you could make a PPA for nessus and maintain it yourself? :P | 15:59 |
| ebel | I can't see if anyone else has done it... | 15:59 |
| slashtom | too much work | 16:01 |
| ebel | slashtom: look at BackTrack? an ubuntu derivative (I think) with lots of security stuff | 16:02 |
| ebel | slashtom: actually looks like nessus might no longer be free software http://askubuntu.com/questions/12434/vulnerability-scanner-nmap-vs-nessus/12459#12459 | 16:03 |
| ebel | slashtom: looks like you have to pay for non-personal use of nessus. | 16:04 |
| ebel | slashtom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nessus_(software)#History looks like it was un-opened in 2005 | 16:05 |
| ebel | slashtom: looks like the previous open source verion was forked to OpenVAS | 16:06 |
| ebel | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVAS | 16:06 |
| ebel | (it was originally called GNessUs :P ) | 16:06 |
| slashtom | deadly, thanks ebel | 16:07 |
| ebel | you could try that? (it is in apt/software centre/aptitude/apt-get/library of alexandria: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openvas ) | 16:07 |
| slashtom | aye, just installed! | 16:08 |
| * slashtom likes using apt and doesn't like using things which are not in there | 16:08 | |
| ubuntucork | Greetings to all citizens not yet colonised by The Peoples Republic of Cork. :) | 16:26 |
| ebel | yo | 16:27 |
| czajkowski | ubuntucork: aloha | 18:04 |
| dax_roc | Evening all | 20:39 |
