How to Install Fenris on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Fenris, an open-source network scanner, on NetBSD.

Step 1: Install NetBSD

Before you can install Fenris, you need to have NetBSD installed on your system. You can download the latest NetBSD distribution from the official website: https://www.netbsd.org/releases/

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

To install Fenris, you should first install the required dependencies. Fenris requires the following packages to be installed:

• Git
• GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)

You can install these packages using the pkgin package manager, which is included with NetBSD. To install Git and GCC, run the following command:

sudo pkgin install git gcc

Step 3: Download Fenris

After installing the required dependencies, you can download the latest version of Fenris from the official GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/revenz/fenris.git

This will download the Fenris source code to your system.

Step 4: Compile Fenris

To compile Fenris, navigate to the Fenris directory and run the following command:

cd fenris 
make

This will compile the Fenris source code and generate the fenris binary.

Step 5: Test Fenris

To test if Fenris is working correctly, run the following command:

sudo ./fenris -i <interface>

Replace <interface> with the name of the network interface that you want to scan. This command will start a network scan and display the results on the terminal.

Conclusion

That's it! Now you have successfully installed Fenris on your NetBSD system. Fenris is a powerful network scanner, and you can use it to scan your network for potential security vulnerabilities.
