Installing on ArchLinux with packages¶
Installation¶
Install all prelude packages :
[root@linux ~]# yaourt -S prelude-lml prelude-lml-rules prelude-manager prelude-correlator prewikka
If you do not have a syslog program, please install one to let prelude-lml read logs:
[root@linux ~]# yaourt -S rsyslog [root@linux ~]# systemctl restart rsyslog
Prelude need a SQL database, this tutorial use MariaDB in example.
Install the database:
[root@linux ~]# yaourt -S mariadb
Start the database :
[root@linux ~]# systemctl start mariadb
Initialize the database :
[root@linux ~]# /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Create two databases, one for IDMEF alerts, one for the Web interface :
[root@rhel7 ~]# mysql -u root Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MariaDB connection id is 8 Server version: 5.5.56-MariaDB MariaDB Server Copyright (c) 2000, 2017, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others. Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE prelude; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE prewikka DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'prelude'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'prelude'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON prelude.* TO 'prelude'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON prewikka.* TO 'prelude'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Initialize the database:
[root@linux ~]# mysql -u prelude -p prelude < /usr/share/libpreludedb/classic/mysql.sql
Configure the database into web interface configuration:
[root@linux ~]# vim /etc/prewikka/prewikka.conf # Events DB [idmef_database] type: mysql host: localhost user: prelude pass: prelude name: prelude # Prewikka DB [database] type: mysql host: localhost user: prelude pass: prelude name: prewikka
Configure the database into prelude-manager configuration (for IDMEF alerts):
[root@linux ~]# vim /etc/prelude-manager/prelude-manager.conf [db] type = mysql host = localhost name = prelude user = prelude pass = prelude
Now, you have to initialize the communication between all prelude modules (prelude-manager, prelude-lml and prelude-correlator) as explained in InstallingAgentRegistration. Here is a short logs of standard initialization.
If you use protection through /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, remember to add 127.0.0.1 to use 4690 and 5553 ports.

[root@linux ~]# systemctl start prelude-manager
Check the service :
[root@linux ~]# systemctl status prelude-manager

Generate some logs to test the alerts. For example, try to connect to ssh in localhost and failed the password.
