PlatformUbuntu14

Overview

This installation generally takes 15-30min on hardware with more than 4 cores. This is due to the CPAN dependencies that are being compiled and tested. Someday maybe someone will contrib a PPA... 👍

Setting up the Environment

Because @giovino is so awesome, the helper script will configure apache2, bind and install CIF to /opt/cif for you, as well as install any required CPAN dependencies too!

If you find @giovino in the wild, buy him a beer.

$ sudo apt-get install -y htop build-essential automake autoconf git
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/csirtgadgets/massive-octo-spice
$ cd massive-octo-spice
$ bash autogen.sh
$ sudo bash ./hacking/platforms/easybutton.sh

Notes

• When it asks you what type of mail server you want setup, you can choose 'Internet', just make sure it's fire-walled appropriately and you re-configure it post install to match your local host policy.
