Issue install Google rapid response GRR on security onion 16.04

[uskwarrior]

Hello Folks,

I have been trying to install GRR Server on Security onion 16.04 and have been experiencing issues. Firstly I tried installing the docker image using the instructions here, but when logging to the server using hostname I get a proxy error. I tried installing the GRR as a service using instructions here, but each time when trying the first step of logging into SQL with the localhost password to create a grr database, I get an error "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)". I have tried blank password and even resetting the password but found that mysql service doesn't let me.

I have been scratching my head all day and haven't been able to resolve the issue. I would really appreciate any help or feedback on this.

Many thanks in advance

I don't intend on updating the installer for 16.04, as it will soon be EOL anyway.  You might consider using Velociraptor on Security Onion 2.x instead: https://github.com/weslambert/securityonion-velociraptor
