NIST NET Installation Instruction on Redhat 7.X System
** Better sign in as root user to accomplish below else use “su” before inserting your commands. ***
1. Install Redhat 7.1. You can get the image files for this version of Redhat from ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/iso/i386/
You will need to first burn them on CDs and the try installing them on your machine.
2. Go to http://www-x.antd.nist.gov/cgi-bin/nistnet-distribution to download the appropriate version of NISTNet for your linux kernel. I downloaded the 2.0.12b version since my linux kernel is 2.4.2. If you use2.6.x kernel, 2.0.12c would be the choice.
3. Next install the kernel-source and kernel-header for the Redhat machine. kernel-header-x.x.x-x.x.rpm and kernel-source-x.x.x-x.x.rpm, can be downloaded from the internet using “wget completeURL/filename.rpm”, and use “rpm –ivh ” to install it on the machine.
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/redhat/redhat/support/enterprise/isv/kernel-archive/7.1/2.4.2-2/i386/kernel-source-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/redhat/redhat/support/enterprise/isv/kernel-archive/7.1/2.4.2-2/i386/kernel-headers-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm
Note: replace x.x.x with what you get from running the command “uname -rm” or “uname -a”. That’s the kernel version number and the architecture of your linux.
This will install the linux kernel stuff and will create a linux.x.x-x folder in your usr/src foler.
4. Once the above is correctly done, type in “ln -s /usr/src/linux-x.x.x-x /usr/src/linux” into the terminal, x is the kernel version. This will create a link to your linux kernel folder named linux which will be needed by the NISTNet.
5. Go to /usr/src/linux/configs directory, you will see a couple of different config files for different architectures. Pick the right one based on your kernel version. If you are not sure about your kernel version, type in “uname –a”. So in my case I had to pick kernel –x.x.x-x.i686.config.
Then, do the following:
