Overcast is an open-source tool used to collect and analyze network traffic for security purposes. It can be used to monitor network traffic and identify vulnerabilities in an organization's network. The following tutorial will guide you on how to install Overcast on Kali Linux latest version.
Before installing Overcast, ensure that all the required dependencies are installed by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-venv tshark
This command will install python3, python3-pip, python3-venv, and tshark.
Clone the Overcast repository to your local machine by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/AndrewChilds/overcast.git
This will create a local copy of the overcast repository on your machine.
Navigate to the overcast directory and create a Python virtual environment by running the following commands:
cd overcast
python3 -m venv venv
This will create a virtual environment named venv.
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source venv/bin/activate
This will activate the virtual environment.
Install the required Python packages by running the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the required packages listed in the requirements.txt file.
You can now run Overcast by running the following command:
sudo python3 overcast.py
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Overcast on Kali Linux latest version. You can now use Overcast to collect and analyze network traffic for security purposes.
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!
