INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------- for CentOS 6.x 1/ Minimal CentOS install ------------------------- Install a minimal CentOS 6.x system with the software: - OpenSSH server - LAMP server (actually, this is done below) - Mail server # Make sure your system is up2date: yum update 2/ Dependencies * ---------------- Once the system is installed you can perform the following steps as root: # We need some packages from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux repository curl -o epel.rpm http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh epel.rpm # Because vim is just so practical yum install vim # Install the dependencies: yum install gcc git zip redis mysql-server php-mysql python-devel python-pip libxslt-devel zlib-devel php-devel php-xml php-mbstring yum install php-pear php-pecl-geoip pear channel-update pear.php.net pear install Crypt_GPG # we need version >1.3.0 pear install Net_GeoIP # Enable and start redis chkconfig redis on service redis start 3/ MISP code ------------ # Download MISP using git in the /var/www/ directory. cd /var/www/ git clone https://github.com/MISP/MISP.git # Make git ignore filesystem permission differences cd /var/www/MISP git config core.filemode false # install Mitre's STIX and its dependencies by running the following commands: yum install python-importlib python-lxml python-dateutil python-six cd /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts git clone https://github.com/CybOXProject/python-cybox.git git clone https://github.com/STIXProject/python-stix.git cd /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts/python-cybox git checkout v2.1.0.10 git config core.filemode false # If you umask is has been changed from the default, it is a good idea to reset it to 0022 before installing python modules UMASK=$(umask) umask 0022 python setup.py install cd /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts/python-stix git checkout v1.1.1.4 git config core.filemode false python setup.py install umask $UMASK 4/ CakePHP ----------- # CakePHP is now included as a submodule of MISP, execute the following commands to let git fetch it # ignore this message: # No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'app/Plugin/CakeResque' cd /var/www/MISP git submodule init git submodule update # Once done, install CakeResque along with its dependencies if you intend to use the built in background jobs: cd /var/www/MISP/app curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php php composer.phar require kamisama/cake-resque:4.1.2 php composer.phar config vendor-dir Vendor php composer.phar install # CakeResque normally uses phpredis to connect to redis, but it has a (buggy) fallback connector through Redisent. It is highly advised to install phpredis yum install php-pecl-redis # If you have not yet set a timezone in php.ini echo 'date.timezone = "Europe/Amsterdam"' > /etc/php.d/timezone.ini # To use the scheduler worker for scheduled tasks, do the following: cp -fa /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/setup/config.php /var/www/MISP/app/Plugin/CakeResque/Config/config.php 5/ Set the permissions ---------------------- # Make sure the permissions are set correctly using the following commands as root: chown -R root:apache /var/www/MISP find /var/www/MISP -type d -exec chmod g=rx {} \; chmod -R g+r,o= /var/www/MISP chown apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/files chown apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/files/terms chown apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts/tmp chown apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/Plugin/CakeResque/tmp chown -R apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/tmp chown -R apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/img/orgs chown -R apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/img/custom 6/ Create a database and user ----------------------------- # Enable, start and secure your mysql database server chkconfig mysqld on service mysqld start mysql_secure_installation # Additionally, it is probably a good idea to make the database server listen on localhost only # Add the following to the [mysqld] of /etc/my.cnf # bind-address=127.0.0.1 # Enter the mysql shell mysql -u root -p mysql> create database misp; mysql> grant usage on *.* to misp@localhost identified by 'XXXXXXXXX'; mysql> grant all privileges on misp.* to misp@localhost ; mysql> exit cd /var/www/MISP # Import the empty MySQL database from MYSQL.sql mysql -u misp -p misp < INSTALL/MYSQL.sql 7/ Apache configuration ----------------------- # Now configure your apache server with the DocumentRoot /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/ # A sample ghost can be found in /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/apache.misp cp /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/apache.misp /etc/httpd/conf.d/misp.conf # Edit the misp.conf file and replace /var/log/apache2 with /var/log/httpd vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/misp.conf # Allow httpd to connect to the redis server over tcp/ip setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on # Enable and start the httpd service chkconfig httpd on service httpd start # Open a hole in the iptables firewall iptables -I INPUT 5 -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT service iptables save # We seriously recommend using only SSL ! # Check out the apache.misp.ssl file for an example 8/ MISP configuration --------------------- # There are 4 sample configuration files in /var/www/MISP/app/Config that need to be copied cd /var/www/MISP/app/Config cp -a bootstrap.default.php bootstrap.php cp -a database.default.php database.php cp -a core.default.php core.php cp -a config.default.php config.php # Configure the fields in the newly created files: # config.php : baseurl # database.php : login, port, password, database # bootstrap.php: uncomment the last 3 lines to enable the background workers (see below) # CakePlugin::loadAll(array('CakeResque' => array('bootstrap' => true))); # Setup localhost in database.php: # 'host' => 'localhost', # To enable the background workers, if you have installed the package required for it in 4/, uncomment the following lines: # in core.php (if you have just recently updated MISP, just add this line at the end of the file): # require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/Vendor/autoload.php'; # Important! Change the salt key in /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php # The admin user account will be generated on the first login, make sure that the salt is changed before you create that user # If you forget to do this step, and you are still dealing with a fresh installation, just alter the salt, # delete the user from mysql and log in again using the default admin credentials (admin@admin.test / admin) # If you want to be able to change configuration parameters from the webinterface: chown apache:apache /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php # Generate a GPG encryption key. mkdir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg chmod 700 /var/www/MISP/.gnupg # If the following command gives an error message, try it as root from the console # can't connect to `/var/www/MISP/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': No such file or directory gpg --homedir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg --gen-key chown -R apache:apache /var/www/MISP/.gnupg # The email address should match the one set in the config.php configuration file # Make sure that you use the same settings in the MISP Server Settings tool (Described on line 212) # And export the public key to the webroot sudo -u apache gpg --homedir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg --export --armor YOUR-EMAIL > /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/gpg.asc # Start the workers to enable background jobs su -s /bin/bash apache -c 'bash /var/www/MISP/app/Console/worker/start.sh' # To make the background workers start on boot vi /etc/rc.local # Add the following line at the end su -s /bin/bash apache -c 'bash /var/www/MISP/app/Console/worker/start.sh' # Now log in using the webinterface: # The default user/pass = admin@admin.test/admin # Using the server settings tool in the admin interface (Administration -> Server Settings), set MISP up to your preference # It is especially vital that no critical issues remain! Don't forget to change the email, password and authentication key after installation. # Once done, have a look at the diagnostics # If any of the directories that MISP uses to store files is not writeable to the apache user, change the permissions # you can do this by running the following commands: chmod -R 750 /var/www/MISP/ chown -R apache:apache /var/www/MISP/ # Make sure that the STIX libraries and GnuPG work as intended, if not, refer to INSTALL.txt's paragraphs dealing with these two items # If anything goes wrong, make sure that you check MISP's logs for errors: # /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/error.log # /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-worker-error.log # /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-scheduler-error.log # /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-2015-01-01.log //where the actual date is the current date Recommended actions ------------------- - By default CakePHP exposes his name and version in email headers. Apply a patch to remove this behavior. - You should really harden your OS - You should really harden the configuration of Apache - You should really harden the configuration of MySQL - Keep your software up2date (MISP, CakePHP and everything else) - Log and audit
