Installing Nessus
Unlike Knoppix, Kanotix doesn't come with Nessus, but does include Nmap and the Nmap Front-End. If you try to install Nessus using apt-get, it suggests but does not install nessusd and you don't get the plugins either, so if you want to install Nessus without relying on nessusd running on another machine, enter the following as root:
:code:apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins:code:
There is
online documentation for Nessus∞ and a very short but useful
Nessus HOWTO∞ available
