Installing GRR on Windows 10

GRR is an open source security framework that allows you to perform remote live forensics, triage and malware analysis on a large number of systems.

Prerequisites

Before installing GRR on Windows 10, ensure you have:

• Python 3 installed
• Git installed
• Command prompt or PowerShell access with administrator privileges

Installation

1. Open the command prompt as an administrator and type the following command to create a new virtual environment:

python -m venv grr_venv

2. Activate the newly created virtual environment by typing:

cd grr_venv/Scripts
Activate

3. Clone the GRR repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/google/grr.git

4. Navigate to the cloned repository by running:

cd grr

5. Install the required dependencies by typing:

pip install -U pip setuptools
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Create the GRR server configuration by running the following command:

python build.py build

7. Start the GRR server by running the following command:

python grr/scripts/runserver.py --config grr/config/grr-server.yaml

8. To connect to the GRR server, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000/. You should see the GRR web interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed GRR on your Windows 10 machine. You can now use it for remote live forensics, triage, and malware analysis.

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!
