Shaark is an open-source, web-based packet analysis framework that enables you to do network packet capture and analysis. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Shaark on NetBSD.
Before getting started, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install Shaark on NetBSD:
The first step is to open a command terminal on your NetBSD machine.
To install Shaark, you need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin install git nodejs ffmpeg
These commands will update the NetBSD package index and install git, Node.js, and ffmpeg.
Next, you need to clone Shaark from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MarceauKa/shaark.git
Navigate to the newly created shaark directory by running the command:
cd shaark
Configure Shaark by running the command:
cp .env.example .env
Edit the .env file and specify your own settings. You can use your editor of choice to edit the file.
Note that the default settings will work fine for most installations. You only need to modify these settings if you want to configure custom ports or change the path of the data storage.
You can now install Shaark by running the following command:
npm install
This command will download and install all the required dependencies.
Finally, you can start Shaark by running the following two commands:
npm run prod:build
npm run prod:start
Once you have launched Shaark, you can access it in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:3000.
By following the above steps, you should now have Shaark up and running on your NetBSD machine. You can now use Shaark to capture and analyze network traffic.
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!
