Installation guide

• Download PHLAK – this is a 400+ Mb large ISO CD image. Use your CD burning
software to create a bootable CD from this ISO image. It will not work if you just copy
the ISO file onto a data CD.
• Boot from your PHLAK CD while connected to the Internet (if you have dial-up Internet
only, you can connect after booting PHLAK).
• If you booted PHLAK successfully on Nessus, you will see a menu bar like this one:
• Select the left hand terminal window icon (on the screenshot above circled in red).
• In the terminal that opens, type: ‘nessus-mkcert’ (without the quotation marks) and
answer the onscreen questions.
• If you have generated the certificate successfully, now type ‘nessus-adduser’ (again
without the quotation marks). Make up a user name and a password in order to answer
the onscreen questions.
• If you have successfully generated a nessus user, you can start the Nessus daemon:
type ‘nessusd-D’ (without the quotation marks).
Run the test
1 Open another terminal window by again clicking the left hand terminal symbol on the menu
bar at the bottom of the screen.
2 Type ‘nessus’ (without the quotation marks).
3 A graphical user interface will pop up. Enter your user name and password (as used during
the ’nessus-adduser’ process).
