Patrowl is an open-source security tool used for the offline analysis of network data. It helps in the extraction of data from open sources and includes different connectors to network environments. Patrowl also helps in identifying threat indicators and creating threat intelligence reports.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Patrowl on Arch Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation process, it is recommended to update the Arch Linux system to the latest version by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Patrowl requires several dependencies for its installation. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo pacman -S python python-pip nginx php-fpm yarn git
Next, clone the Patrowl GitHub repository using the git command:
git clone https://github.com/Patrowl/PatrowlManager.git
Patrowl requires several Python modules for its installation. Install them using the pip command:
cd PatrowlManager
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure Nginx to serve the Patrowl web interface by creating a new configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/patrowl
Add the following content to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name patrowl.local;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5906/;
}
}
Save and close the file. Restart Nginx using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Finally, start Patrowl using the following command:
python PatrowlManager.py --initdb
Once you run the command, Patrowl will be started, and you can access it by opening your web browser and entering the URL http://patrowl.local.
In this tutorial, we have discussed how to install Patrowl on Arch Linux. Now you can start exploring Patrowl and its features to secure your network data.
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!
