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 is typically a Pentium 4 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 SnapGear unit
running Advanced Instrusion Detection. They should be installed in the following order:
