PC,
You may want to take a look here to get an idea of how to do this:
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/wiki/CloudClient
If you are looking to deploy a master and sensor(s) (distributed deployment), then you will need to at least configure:
-the master with a NIC for management
-a sensor with a NIC for management and a NIC for monitoring traffic
The setup script will quickly and easily walk you through this. As far as what to set for the particular IPs for the management NIC of each, that is up to you.
You will need a way to collect and mirror the traffic from the machines that you are monitoring to the monitor interface on the sensor(s).
Try consulting the referenced article above to see how this has been implemented with AWS.
Thanks,
Wes
Thank you for the information!
Do you have instruction on how to install it with netsniff-ng?
I am little confused, Do I need multiple sensors if I want to monitor traffic for multiple app servers? or I can just have one sensor server to receive the datas from multiple app servers(client)
or it is better to do one standalone(master and sensor) and listens for multiple app servers(clients) on the network.
thanks,
PC
