In this tutorial, we will walkthrough the process of installing changedetection.io on Kali Linux.
The tool, changedetection.io is a web app that enables you to track changes on websites and in files. It is designed to help web administrators detect any unauthorized modifications on a website or file, suggesting where hacking attempts have been made or identifying issues with software updates.
Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
First, we need to install the dependencies required for changedetection.io to run. We can do this through the terminal by typing the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-venv python3-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
Once all dependencies are installed, we can now proceed to install changedetection.io. We will do this by first cloning it from the GitHub repository and then installing the necessary packages using pip.
git clone https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io.git
cd changedetection.io
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
After successfully installing the required packages, we need to set up the database. To do this, change to the changedetection.io directory and run the following command:
flask initdb
Finally, start the application by running the following command:
flask run
Once the application is running, you should be able to view it by visiting http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed changedetection.io on Kali Linux. You can now track modifications on your website or files and identify if any hacking attempts have been made. Feel free to explore the application and make adjustments or modifications where necessary.
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!
