This topic is purely the installation steps of nexpose, therefore, don’t expect anything except the installation. As the title of this post, we will start to install nexpose 5.1, regarding to the rapid7 website, the latest version of nexpose is 6.x, therefore, we should change years on the time settings to 2015, otherwise, the installation won’t started.
There is a system requirement to install the nexpose, a recommendation settings, such as : 2 GHz processor (64Bit), 8GB RAM (64Bit), Top 3 Browsers, Operating systems (Windows7, 8, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2, RHEL 5, 6, Ubuntu 10.04LTS, 12.04LTS, Kali linux 1.0.x).
Because centos is operating system based RHEL, of course it support too. I installed on centos 6.7. Here’s my system setting, centos 6.7 (Guest OS, use vmware 12), Allocated 2GB of RAM, Proc i7-2.6Ghz, Allocated 1 Core (proc).
As we seen in the above picture, we can guess that nexpose was built from Java programming, noticeably from “Unpacking JRE …”
As we can see in the above picture, that nexpose attempted to gather system information such RAM, Processor, Kernel version and etc.
As we seen in the above picture, that nexpose attempted to compare the current system setting to required settings and at least the system met the minimum requirement and then we can go to the next step.
As we seen in the picture above, there is two options of installation, “nexpose security console with local scan engine” and “nexpose scan engine only”. The first options we can called the standalone installation because the console and scan engine is in the same machine and the other one is distribute installation.
