Posio is an open-source tool used to detect and analyze network activity. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Posio on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
We need to install Git to clone the Posio repository from GitHub. To install Git on FreeBSD, run the following command:
sudo pkg install git
Now, clone the Posio repository from GitHub using Git. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/abrenaut/posio.git
This command will create a new folder named "posio" in the current directory, which contains the Posio source code.
Posio depends on CMake to build the binary from the source code. To install CMake on FreeBSD, run the following command:
sudo pkg install cmake
GCC is the compiler that we need to build Posio. If you don't have GCC installed in your system, install it by running the following command:
sudo pkg install gcc
Now, we are ready to build Posio. Navigate to the "posio" directory using the following command:
cd posio
Run the following command to build Posio:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
This command will start the build process. Wait for a while until the build process completes successfully.
After the build process, we can test Posio. Run the following command to test Posio in "dry run" mode:
./posio --dry-run --log-level=TRACE
If everything goes well, you should see a list of network interfaces on your system. This means Posio is working correctly. Congratulations, you have successfully installed and tested Posio on FreeBSD Latest.
Posio is an essential tool for network monitoring and analysis. In this tutorial, we have guided you through the installation process of Posio on FreeBSD Latest. Now, you can use Posio to detect and analyze network activity on your FreeBSD system.
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!
