Cyber Security: thehive install

Overview# Application StackTheHive can be deployed on a standalone server or as a cluster. The application relies on:

• Apache Cassandra to store data (Supported version: 4.x).
• Elasticsearch as indexing engine (Supported version: 7.x).
• A file storage solution is also required ; the local filesystem of the server hosting the application is adequate in the standalone server scenario ; S3 MINIO otherwise.

Architecture# Each layer, TheHive application, the Database & index engine, and file storage, is independant and can be set up as a standalone node or cluster. As a result, TheHive could be setup and work in a complex clustered archicteture, using virtual IP addresses and load balancers.

Standalone server Cluster or hybrid architecture

Standalone server

All applications are installed on the same server.

• Cassandra
• Elasticsearch
• Files are store on the filesystem (or MinIO if desired)

TheHive NGINX (optional): to manage HTTPS communications

Instructions included in the step-by-step installation guide ends up to install a standalone server.

Requirements# Hardware requirements depends on the number of concurrent users (including integrations) and how they use the system. The following table diplays safe thresholds when hosting all services on the same machine:

Number of users	TheHive	Cassandra	ElasticSearch
 < 10	2  / 2 GB 	2  / 2 GB 	2  / 2 GB 
 < 20	2-4  / 4 GB 	2-4  / 4 GB 	2-4  / 4 GB 
 < 50	4-6  / 8 GB 	4-6  / 8 GB 	4-6  / 8 GB 

Spec yang aman

• 4 core CPU
• 16 G RAM

Tip

If you are installing everything on the same server, we recommend at least 4 cores and 16 GB of RAM. And don't forget to set up jvm.options at least for Elasticsearch.

Operating systems# TheHive has been tested and is supported on the following operating systems:

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS & 22.04 LTS
• Debian 11
• RHEL 8
• Fedora 35 & 37

StrangeBee also provides an official Docker image.

Installation guides# Too much in a hurry to read ?

If you are using one of the supported operating systems, use our all-in-one installation script:

apt update
wget -q -O /tmp/install.sh https://archives.strangebee.com/scripts/install.sh ; sudo -v ; bash /tmp/install.sh

This script helps with the installation process on a fresh and supported OS ; the program also run successfully if the conditions in terms of hardware requirements are met.

1) Setup proxy settings
2) Install TheHive
3) Install Cortex (run Neurons with docker)
4) Install Cortex (run Neurons locally)
5) Quit
Select an option: 

Pilih no 2. Kita perlu menunggu beberapa jam sampai proses instalasi selesai.

Cek status

systemctl status cassandra
systemctl status elasticsearch
systemctl status thehive

Pastikan semua kondisi active running.

Edit konfigurasi

vi /etc/thehive/application.conf

Pastikan localhost:9000 diubah menjadi IP address:9000, misalnya,

# Service configuration
# application.baseUrl = "http://localhost:9000"
# application.baseUrl = "http://0.0.0.0:9000"
application.baseUrl = "http://192.168.0.192:9000"
play.http.context = "/"

Restart cassandra, elasticsearch dan thehive

systemctl restart cassandra
systemctl restart elasticsearch
systemctl restart thehive

Tunggu beberapa saat sampai thehive stabil dan sudah beroperasi pada port 9000. Cek menggunakan

netstat -ntlp

Pastikan ada aplikasi yang beroperasi di port 9000
