GRR is an open-source cybersecurity tool used for incident response, forensics analysis, and remote management of endpoints. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing GRR on Manjaro.
Before you begin the installation process, make sure to have the following:
Before installing GRR, you will need to install the required dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command to install dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git python python2 python-pip python2-pip libffi libffi-devel libssl-dev openssl mysql-connector-c++ libjpeg-turbo libjpeg-turbo-devel libxml2 libxslt libxslt-devel swig cairo cairo-devel
Once you installed the dependencies, you need to prepare the environment before installing GRR. Run these commands:
cd ~
sudo pip install virtualenv
mkdir grr-env && cd grr-env
virtualenv --python=python2 grr_venv
. grr_venv/bin/activate
To install GRR, run the following commands:
pip install 'grr-response-server[mysqldatastore]'
pip install 'grr-response-client'
pip install 'grr-response-templates'
pip install 'grr-response-server[cron]'
After installing GRR, it's time to configure it to work in your environment. Run the following command to configure GRR:
sudo grr_config_updater initialize
To start the GRR server, run the following command:
sudo -u grr grr_server --config /usr/share/grr-server/grr/config/grr-server.yaml
You have successfully installed GRR on Manjaro. You can now use GRR to manage endpoints, perform forensics analysis, and more. If you face any issues during installation, refer to the official documentation on the GRR website.
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!
