But in Debian Sid aka unstable there is nessus 1.2.5-3. You can compile it 'the Debian Way' :-) 1. Append to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free (replace ftp.de.debian.org with your favorite Debian mirror) 2. run 'apt-get update' 3. change to a empty dir, where you like to build the packages 4. run 'apt-get install build-essentials' 5. run 'apt-get source nessus-libraries' 6. cd nessus-libraries 7. check with 'dpkg-checkbuilddeps' which packages you require to build this package 8. install the required packages with apt-get install <list of missing packages> NOTE: Be sure that you have deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free and deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable-proposed-updates main contrib non-free in your sources.list, since you should build against the newest libssl for security reasons!!! 9. run 'dpkg-buildpackage -b' 10. wait until the the packages are built; cd ..; dpkg -i libnessus*.deb 11. perform the steps 5-10 for each of the following source packages. keep to the order, some of the first are required for later ones: libnasl, nessus-core, nessus-plugins Thats it! this took me about 20 mins to compile and install nessus 1.2.5 and writing this mail.
