GRR is a Python-based Incident Response tool that provides remote live forensics and automation of IT security tasks. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to install GRR on Alpine Linux Latest.
Start by updating the package lists of your machine using the following command:
apk update
Install the required dependencies for GRR using the following command:
apk add python python-dev python3 python3-dev build-base libffi-dev openssl-dev libgcc
This command will install Python 2 and 3, build tools, and other required libraries.
Download the GRR server package from the official website using the following command.
wget https://github.com/google/grr/releases/download/v3.5.0.7/grr-server_3.5.0.7_amd64.tar.gz
Extract the package using the following command.
tar -xvf grr-server_3.5.0.7_amd64.tar.gz
Now, navigate to the extracted directory using the cd command.
cd grr-server_3.5.0.7_amd64
Install GRR using the following command.
python grr_server_build.py build
After the build is complete, run the following command to start GRR service.
$PYTHONHOME/bin/grr_server_start
The $PYTHONHOME environment variable should be set to the Python 3 installation directory.
To verify that GRR is running, navigate to the following URL from a browser on the machine.
https://localhost:8000/#/hunt
If GRR is running, you should be able to access the GRR console.
Now, you've successfully installed GRR on Alpine Linux Latest. You can use GRR for remote live forensics and automation of IT security tasks. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the GRR documentation to fully understand its capabilities.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
