GRR is a Python-driven open-source EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) system. It delivers real-time incident response and monitoring to servers and endpoints. In this tutorial, we will illustrate how to install GRR on your POP! OS system.
Before beginning this tutorial, you need to ensure the following prerequisites are met:
To install GRR on your POP! OS, please follow these simple steps:
First, perform a system update to ensure the smooth functioning of your system. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update
GRR requires several dependencies, including virtualenv, pip, and protobuf. You can install these dependencies using the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libmysqlclient-dev virtualenv protobuf-compiler
Create a new user account for GRR and switch to the new user. After that, create a new Virtual Environment to install GRR packages.
sudo adduser grr
su grr
cd ~
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
Install GRR using the following command:
pip install grr-response-server[grr-response-server]
Initialize GRR with the following command:
sudo grr_config_updater initialize
To start the GRR service, run the following command:
sudo ~/venv/bin/grr_server
Access GRR's Web Interface from your browser by visiting the URL http://localhost:8000 . You can then log in as a regular user.
You have successfully installed GRR on your POP! OS system by following the above steps. If you come across any issues or problems, please refer to the GRR documentation for guidance.
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!
