Shaark is a web-based network traffic analyser that helps you drill down into packets and analyse them visually. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Shaark on Clear Linux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you will need the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required for Shaark. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to install the required packages:
sudo swupd bundle-add git devpkg-pcap devpkg-openssl libpcap-dev openssl-dev
This command will install the Git version control system, the libpcap library for capturing network traffic, and the OpenSSL library for secure communication.
Once you have installed the dependencies, you can clone the Shaark repository from GitHub. Enter the following command in the terminal window to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/MarceauKa/shaark.git
This will create a new directory called shaark in your home directory.
Change into the shaark directory by entering the following command:
cd shaark
Now you can build and install Shaark by running the following command:
make && sudo make install
This will build the Shaark binaries and install them in the /usr/local/bin directory.
Next, start the Shaark daemon by running the following command:
sudo shaarkd start
This will start the Shaark daemon in the background. You can verify that the daemon is running by entering the following command:
sudo shaarkd status
This will display the status of the Shaark daemon, which should be "running".
Finally, you can access the Shaark web interface by opening a web browser and entering the URL http://localhost:8080 in the address bar. This will display the Shaark login page.
To log in to Shaark, enter the default username admin and the default password password. You can change the password after you log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Shaark on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use the web-based interface to analyse network traffic and drill down into packets.
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!
