Install Striker

Requirements

• A machine with two wired network interfaces, one to the BCN and one to the IFN.
• RHEL, CentOS or similar version 6.x (6.5 or higher recommended).
  • Minimal install is sufficient, provided you install perl.
  • The installer will install everything else it needs.

yum install perl

<yum output>

This install document will be using a fresh, minimal install of CentOS 6.5.

Getting the Install Script

The Striker installer needs to be downloaded. To account for minimal installs where wget is not available, we'll use curl instead which is always available.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digimer/an-cdb/master/striker-installer > striker-installer

Using the Install Script

The install script works by taking command line switches. You can get a better explanation of the switches by running ./striker-installer -h .

Monitor

The monitor application is based around a "Striker API". The monitor itself acts as a daemon that calls scanner agents it finds inn the cgi-bin/scan.d directory.
