Installing Attack Vector on Linux

These instructions assume you have a fresh Ubuntu server available and are logged in as a user with sudo rights. This is the default setup for an EC2 Ubuntu instance.

1. Download and install

Log into the server (not as root) and do the following:

# Optionally set the time zone if needed
sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Amsterdam

Download install-scripts.zip from the latest release at: https://github.com/n-of-one/attack_vector_2/releases

cd ~
curl -LO https://github.com/n-of-one/attack_vector_2/releases/latest/download/install-scripts.zip
unzip install-scripts.zip -d ~/av
cd ~/av
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

This installs MongoDB, Java, and sets up the scripts. After installation, download and start Attack Vector with:

./upgrade.sh

2. Running Attack Vector

Once installed, start Attack Vector with:

cd ~/av
./run.sh

To update to the latest version:

cd ~/av
./upgrade.sh

3. Creating a certificate (optional)

sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d attackvector.nl --register-unsafely-without-email

sudo openssl pkcs12 -export -in /etc/letsencrypt/live/attackvector.nl/fullchain.pem -inkey /etc/letsencrypt/live/attackvector.nl/privkey.pem -out ~/av/keystore.p12  -name tomcat -CAfile /etc/letsencrypt/live/attackvector.nl/chain.pem -caname root
