Appendix 3: PVS Activation without Internet Access
If your PVS installation cannot reach the Internet directly, use the following procedure to register and update plugins:
On the system running PVS, type the following command:
# /opt/pvs/bin/pvs –-challenge
# /Library/PVS/bin/pvs --challenge
C:\Program Files\Tenable\PVS>pvs --challenge
This will produce a string called “challenge” that appears similar to following:
569ccd9ac72ab3a62a3115a945ef8e710c0d73b8
Next, go to https://plugins.nessus.org/offline-pvs.php and paste the “challenge” string as well as the Activation Code that
you received previously into the appropriate text boxes. This will produce a URL that will give you direct access to the
PVS plugins. Save this URL, which will be used every time you update your plugins. In addition, a file called
nessus-fetch.rc will be produced. Copy this file to the host running PVS in the appropriate directory:
C:\Program Files\Tenable\PVS\
Once the nessus-fetch.rc file has been copied, run the pvs –register-offline command to install the file:
# /opt/pvs/bin/pvs --register-offline /opt/pvs/etc/pvs/nessus-fetch.rc
# /Library/PVS/bin/pvs --register-offline /Library/PVS/etc/nessus-
fetch.rc
C:\Program Files\Tenable\PVS>pvs --register-offline "C:\Program
Files\Tenable\PVS\nessus-fetch.rc"
The newest plugins can be obtained by going to the URL that was provided in the previous step. Here, you will receive a
TAR file (e.g., sc-passive.tar.gz). Copy the file to the PVS system and then type the appropriate command for your
platform:
