Metasploit versionĬonsole : 4.17.26-dev I installed Metasploit with: usr/share/metasploit-framework/lib/metasploit/framework/command/console.rb:48:in start' /usr/share/metasploit-framework/lib/metasploit/framework/command/base.rb:82:in start' usr/share/metasploit-framework/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:447:in run_single' /usr/share/metasploit-framework/lib/rex/ui/text/shell.rb:151:in run' usr/share/metasploit-framework/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:453:in block in run_single' /usr/share/metasploit-framework/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:447:in each' usr/share/metasploit-framework/plugins/nessus.rb:979:in cmd_nessus_scan_new' /usr/share/metasploit-framework/lib/rex/ui/text/dispatcher_shell.rb:501:in run_command' Error while running command nessus_scan_new: undefined method `' for nil:NilClass Creating scan from policy number UUID, called Test - Test and scanning IP New scan is created which can then be launched. Connect to Nessus server (nessus_connect).I am trying to get through the TryHackMe lessons and I am currently on the Nessus lesson and would like to finish it. If anyone knows how to fix this issue I would be very grateful. I have spent the last several hours trying to find a remedy. I have tried rebooting and also re-installing to see if I get a different outcome and no difference. I have logged out of the user account and logged into Root account to check if nessusd would be listed there under /etc/init.d location, and again it is not. I have run the command dpkg-query -l which I do see Nessus there Tried looking for Nessusd under /etc/init.d/ and there is nothing related to NessusĬat: /etc/init.d/nessusd: No such file or directory Sudo: /etc/init.d/nessusd: command not found

Start the service with command /etc/init.d/nessusd startĪfter trying to start the service I get the following error message I complete the following steps per the instructions:ĭownload & Install Nessus per instructions using the command sudo dpkg -i Nessus-8.13.1-debian6_b Granted I have tried this install on both Kali and Ubuntu with the same outcome. I am trying to install Nessus scanner on either my Kali 2020.2 or Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VMs on Virtual Box. I really need some help with this issue I am having.

Run nessus on kali
