⚠️⚠️⚠️

When the download link is dead just report as outdated, it's not an error it's just a new version is available.

8.7.1 is released and the current link seems to be dead.

You can use this link: https://www.tenable.com/downloads/api/v1/public/pages/nessus/downloads/10006/download?i_agree_to_tenable_license_agreement=true

And also, I made a script to get a new download link: https://gist.github.com/parly/a62d3f69abab8a16e878134d610d8cdc

I updated the install process to allow an automatic install again.

Thanks @sipaktli for the API.

@jnbrains: As I already said, the web server is optional.

or just put the file in the same folder as the PKGBUILD

Thanks noraj,

It would be easier to replace steps 4 through 8 with a simple modification in the PKGBUILD file, using: source=("file://Nessus-x.x.x-fc20.x86_64.rpm" instead of source=("http://localhost:8000/Nessus-${pkgver}-fc20.x86_64.rpm" and you won't need to deal with web server of any kind.

P.S. You will still need to deal with the checksum. (or 'SKIP')

@hotty. As I already said, the web server is optional.

DLAGENTS is useless, here, it is only used to spoof the user agent.

Using a local webserver to "download" a file is complicated when there is an easier way using DLAGENTS. The user has to download the binary and the PKGBUILD manually but no webserver needed.

Take a look at how "oracle-sqldeveloper" or "ttf-ms-win10" is handled.

Tenable does not allow to host the package on a third-party server or to redistribute it in any way. You'll have to download it and serve it yourself.

  1. Clone the PKGBUILD repo git clone <https://aur.archlinux.org/nessus.git>
  2. Go inside it cd nessus
  3. Manually download Nessus-x.x.x-fc20.x86_64.rpm from https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus
  4. Launch a basic HTTP server to serve the rpm file (or just put the file in the same folder as the PKGBUILD):
  5. Launch the install with makepkg -sic

Examples of quick web server:

  • ruby (1.9.2+): ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8000
  • python3: python -m http.server 8000
  • python2: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
  • PHP (5.4+): php -S 127.0.0.1:8000
