Haraka is a fast and scalable Node.js-based SMTP server. It is easy to configure and can be customized with plugins to suit your needs. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Haraka on Kali Linux.
Before we can begin installing Haraka, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
If you don't have Node.js and npm installed already, you can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs npm
This command will install Node.js and npm on your Kali Linux machine.
To install Haraka, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g Haraka
This command will install Haraka globally on your Kali Linux machine.
After installing Haraka, you need to configure it to suit your needs. You can do this by creating a new Haraka instance by running the following command:
haraka -i /path/to/haraka-instance
Replace '/path/to/haraka-instance' with the actual path where you want to create your Haraka instance.
cd /path/to/haraka-instance
Then, run the command to install the default plugins:
npm install haraka-plugin-queue haraka-plugin-rcpt-to-hdr haraka-plugin-rfc2822
Now that Haraka is installed and configured, you can start it by running the following command:
haraka -c .
This command will start Haraka using your current directory as the instance path.
That's it! You now have Haraka installed and running on your Kali Linux machine. You can now configure it further by adding plugins or modifying the configuration files. Haraka documentation is available on their website, in case you need more information.
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!
