Hello Everyone, I
am currently taking a Network Defense and Countermeasures course for my degree.
Anyway; one of our projects is to use Nessus to run a certain plugin. I am
using the command-line version of Nessus on Mandriva, because some dependencies
on packages for the GUI are giving me problems and time is against me so to
speak. The plugin that I have to demo is the Gain Root Remotely plugin. I was
wondering if there is a way to choose just that plugin through the command line
or if it’s a “dangerous plugin” to enable it to be part of
the scan. This scan would be taking place on the loopback address (127.0.0.1)
of the Mandriva system. Also, are there any tips to make the system be able to be
picked up as gaining root remotely when the scan is run? This way when I run a
demonstration it will work and show in the generated report. I would appreciate
all help and comments. Thank you, Matthew Gonzalez Network Administration (BT) |
