Shaark is an open-source network capture and analysis tool. It captures live network traffic and provides detailed information about the captured data. Here's how to install Shaark on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
sudo privileges.Shaark requires a few dependencies to be installed before it can be used. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y python-pcapy python-tshark python-psycopg2
This command will update the package list and install the required dependencies for Shaark.
Next, you need to download the Shaark code from GitHub. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MarceauKa/shaark.git
This command will download the Shaark code into a directory named shaark in your current working directory.
Shaark stores captured data in a PostgreSQL database. You need to create a database for Shaark and configure the database settings in the settings.py file.
To create a database for Shaark, run the following command:
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE shaark"
This command will create a database named shaark in PostgreSQL.
Next, open the settings.py file in the shaark directory with your favorite text editor:
cd shaark
sudo nano settings.py
Find the following lines in the file:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'shaark',
'USER': 'shaarkuser',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
Change the values for USER, PASSWORD, HOST, and PORT according to your PostgreSQL configuration. Save the file and exit.
Next, you need to create the required database tables for Shaark. Run the following command in the shaark directory:
python manage.py migrate
This command will create the required database tables and apply any database migrations.
Now you're ready to run Shaark. Run the following command in the shaark directory:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
This command will start the Shaark server and bind it to all available network interfaces on port 8000.
You can now access Shaark by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<your-server-ip>:8000. You should see the Shaark login page. Use the default credentials (username: shaark, password: shaark) to log in and start using Shaark.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Shaark on Ubuntu Server Latest.
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!
