SilverStrike is a database security tool that is used to perform vulnerability assessments against Microsoft SQL Server database systems. It is also used to perform penetration testing, and can be used to evaluate the security posture of a Microsoft SQL Server database.
In this tutorial, we will be installing SilverStrike on Ubuntu Server Latest. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
The first step is to download the SilverStrike package from https://silverstrike.org/. You can download the package by using the following command:
wget https://silverstrike.org/download/silverstrike.zip
Alternatively, you can also download the package using your web browser and transfer it to your Ubuntu Server.
Before you can extract the contents of the SilverStrike package, you need to install unzip on your Ubuntu Server. You can install unzip by using the following command:
sudo apt-get install unzip
Now that you have installed unzip, you can extract the contents of the SilverStrike package. Use the following command to extract the contents of the package:
unzip silverstrike.zip
SilverStrike requires Python 2.7 to run. Ubuntu Server Latest comes with Python 3. If you haven't already installed Python 2.7, use the following command to install it:
sudo apt-get install python2.7
SilverStrike also requires a number of Python libraries to run. You can install these libraries by using the following command:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install pymssql
sudo pip install sqlalchemy
sudo pip install cryptography
You now need to configure SilverStrike before you can use it. Navigate to the silverstrike directory that you extracted in step 3:
cd silverstrike
Open the silverstrike.conf file in a text editor:
nano silverstrike.conf
Enter the settings for your Microsoft SQL Server database. Save the file and exit.
You're now ready to run SilverStrike. Use the following command to do so:
python silverstrike.py
SilverStrike will now connect to your Microsoft SQL Server database and perform a vulnerability assessment.
You have successfully installed SilverStrike on your Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now use it to perform vulnerability assessments against your Microsoft SQL Server database.
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!
