GRR is an open-source incident response framework that helps security teams track and analyze malware activity on their networks. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps to install GRR on a Windows 11 machine.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Install the GRR dependencies.
Open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:
pip install -U grr-response-templates
This will install the necessary Python modules for GRR.
Download and extract the GRR installer.
Go to the GRR Downloads page https://github.com/google/grr/releases and download the latest Windows installer file grr-server-X.X.X.X-windows.amd64.msi.
Install the GRR server.
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the GRR installer and double-click the ".msi" file to run it.
Follow the prompts to install the GRR server. During the installation, you will be prompted to enter a username and password for the GRR admin user.
Start the GRR server.
After the installation, open PowerShell as an administrator and change to the directory where GRR is installed, typically C:\Program Files\GRR.
Run the command:
grr_console.exe
This will start the GRR console.
Congratulations! You have installed GRR on your Windows 11 machine. You can now use GRR to manage your incident response workflows. Try running some basic commands to explore the GRR console's functionality.
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!
