The Realeyes Debian packages are the easiest installation method,
because all of the dependencies are handled by the Debian package
manager. For each package, the initial configuration is handled
by executing scripts that are installed in the /usr/sbin directory.
Additional configuration is handled in the Realeyes GUI.
The dependencies for the Realeyes source packages must be installed
before installing any of the components. In most cases, this can be
accomplished by using the distribution's package manager, but some
Java libraries must be downloaded (links to the download pages
are included in the instructions). The PostgreSQL database must be
installed and the RealeyesDB package installed and configured before
the RealeyesDBD or RealeyesGUI applications can be run.
Installation scripts for each package install program, configuration,
and documentation files to the appropriate directories. The file,
Realeyes.ini, is used by the installation scripts, and must be edited
to match the directories of the Linux distribution being used (the
defaults are based on Debian) before running the scripts. Scripts
for the initial configuration are included and are automatically
started by the installation scripts.
The list of interfaces that are supported for data collection
by the Reaeleyes IDS include all interfaces supported by the
pcap library.
The messages issued by the Realeyes IDS application are documented
with a description and the action to be taken for each one. This
information is included with the packages, but the most up to date
version is kept here.
The messages issued by the Realeyes DBD application are documented
with a description and the action to be taken for each one. This
information is included with the packages, but the most up to date
version is kept here.
