3. Setting up the Environment

Once the installation is done, we can do a few additional things to make RTA even more awesome.

Configuring Slack

RTA can also do push notifications to slack which includes the main scan highlight along with Nessus and other integrated scanner reports divided on the basis of severity.

1. In your slack, create an incoming webhook and point it to the channel where you need the RTA to send the report.

2. In the config file, update the url in the slack section with full URL (including https://) for the incoming webhook.

Once slack is configured, you will automatically start getting the report in your slack channel.

Integrating Nessus

Integrating Nessus into Red Team Arsenal can be done is simple 3 steps:

1. Download and install Nessus community edition (if you don’t have a paid edition). If you already have an installation (it can be remote installation as well), then go to step (2).

2. Update the config file (present on the root directory of RTA) with Nessus URL, username and password.

3. Create a nessus policy where you can configure the type of scans and plugins to run and name it RTA (Case sensitive - use full uppercase).

Once the config file has the correct Nessus information (url, username, password), use the flag --nessus while running RTA to launch nessus scan over the entire subdomains gathered by RTA (one single scan initiated with all the subdomains gathered).
