Setting up the analysis server

Specific open source tools are required to be installed on the Analysis server for a straightforward evaluation.

The analysis server will typically be a Pentium IV level system running Linux (Red Hat, Debian, etc.) with sufficient memory and disk capacity to run a database and web server with at least one Ethernet port. With these tools installed, web pages can be created that display, analyze and graph data stored in the MySQL database from the CyberGuard SG appliance running Advanced Instrusion Detection. They should be installed in the following order:
