Nexpose Vulnerability Scanner Tutorial- Linux Backtrack

By -

Nessus is one of the best vulnerability scanner and vulnerability management but if you are open source lover than you can choose OpenVAS (a vulnerability scanner), Nessus and openVAS are not only a player in vulnerability scanning and management there is another tool for vulnerability scanning called Nexpose. Although Nessus and OpenVAS are available on backtrack 5 and can be integrate with metasploit for the best result, but in some cases we need more results so it is possible to use maximum vulnerability scanning tool in the process of penetration testing and ethical hacking.

Integrate Nessus With Metasploit- Tutorial

After different tutorial of Nessus and Metasploit in backtrack machine we have decided to share something about nexpose, however I have used Nessus for a year but now decided to test Nexpose because of Rapid7. Nexpose vs Nessus is totally another topic that we will discuss here but in my views Nexpose and nessus approximately provide the same result but it is good to use different tool.
What Is Nexp0se?
Rapid7 Nexpose, which received the highest rating of “Strong Positive” in Gartner’s Marketscope for Vulnerability Assessment 2011, supports the entire vulnerability management lifecycle, including discovery, detection, verification, risk classification, impact analysis, reporting and mitigation.

How to Install Nexp0se on Linux?

This tutorial is for Linux operating system, in this tutorial I will show you how to install Nexp0se in backtrack 5, however if you are using another Linux distribution like Ubuntu, Gnacktrack, Backbox, Blackbuntu and other you can follow the same tutorial to get Nexp0se on your computer.
Nexpose requires some dependencies on the terminal type.

As the music begins to play, a soft breeze fills the space with the undeniable smell of magnolia blossoms. She gracefully enters and begins a “tree pose” with her hands in Namaste form. Our female figure is inspired by the Indian culture for its gorgeous use of color and the grace of its yoga formations. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey as we retrace, step by step to enlightenment.  1. Becoming Flesh and Blood Step 1 Our first step will be to bring in our sketch. I've scanned her in at 300 dpi to catch as much of the detail as possible. I'm not as picky about my choice of initial drawing tools, and this particular project was completed with a mechanical pencil. We'll be working with a clean line quality from Adobe Photoshop and now we can begin to work. I'm working in Adobe Illustrator at a size of 8.5 x 11 inches for this specific project. When I'm ready to start my layers, I'll label my first layer as "Sketch" and lock the layer to make su...

In this tutorial, we are going to design a set of icons in Adobe Photoshop. An icon set needs to have the same background and theme.
