We propose a fault tolerant distributed monitoring system based on Nmap, and possible other tools, for scanning target hosts and networks. The system will also store the result for later retrieval, audit and statistics purposes.
Install RabbitMQ server - V3.5.3 or newer
Install MongoDB - V2.6.3 or newer
Install Nmap - V6.40 or newer on every machine that runs a Scanner component.
Install JRE 1.8 on all the machines that run one of the four components (FrontEnd, Scanner, Converter, Presenter).
Install Maven
Install JDK 1.8
Navigate to the root directory and run the command mvn package, this will run all the tests and generate jar artefacts for all the components.
Each component has a configuration file conf.properties. The file contains details regarding database and queue connection.
Configuration file example for the FrontEnd component:
#RabbitMQ connection details
rabbitHost = 192.168.56.102
rabbitSendQueue = commands
rabbitUser = rabbitUser
rabbitPassword = rabbitPassword
#MongoDB connection details
mongoHost = 192.168.56.101
mongoPort = 27017
The system can be deployed manualy, or using the Chef recipes.
More info can be found on the deployment page.
##Test/Stress the system
Fallow the guide on the test page.
