Hello to all!
I have a problem with Nessus plugin installation.((
After reading Installating Guides I did not have a clear understading what files should I download. So I've got 2 files:
nessus-plugins-2.2.10.tar.gz (6507 KB)
nessus-plugins-GPL-2.2.10.tar.gz (1071 KB)
from http://www.nessus.org/download/index.php
After renaming I have tried to upload each of them by turn to the CAM under Plugin Updates. CAM says "Upload Succeeded" and still shows no plugins (Scan Setup ->Plugins).
So I can not understand what is wrong...((
Can someone share correct plugins.tar.gz file, please...???
Regards

You must download and install the appropriate Nessus for your PC.
After you download the latest plugins from the Nessus site, in the directory (for a Windows install) c:/Program Files/Tenable/Nessus/Plugins you will have a "plugin.tar.gz" file. You must rename or copy this to "plugins.tar.gz".
Next, in the NAC Manager console, under CLEAN ACCESS -> NETWORK SCANNER -> Plugin Updates, browse to the same folder and pick the "plugins.tar.gz" file. It MUST be named exactly as shown - with the S - to work. Perform the UPLOAD. When finished navigate over to the Scan Setup tab and select All in the Show ___ Plugins dropdown. You should hae around 20,000 of them.
HTH.
