Elasticsearch/kibana

Install elasticsearch

• sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
• sudo bash -c "export HOSTNAME=kali-purple.kali.purple; apt-get install elasticsearch -y"

take note of "elastic" user password

Convert to single-node setup (or replace fqdn name in initial_master_nodes list with IP address)

• sudo sed -e '/cluster.initial_master_nodes/ s/^#*/#/' -i /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
• echo "discovery.type: single-node" | sudo tee -a /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

Install Kibana

• sudo apt install kibana
• sudo apt install kibana
• sudo /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-encryption-keys generate -q

Add keys to /etc/kibana/kibana.yml

• echo "server.host: \"kali-purple.kali.purple\"" | sudo tee -a /etc/kibana/kibana.yml

Ensure kali-purple.kali.purple is only mapped to 192.168.253.5 in /etc/hosts in order to bind Kibana to that interface

• sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch kibana --now

Enroll Kibana

• sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token -s kibana

open browser and navigate to http://192.168.253.5:5601 enter username=elastic and password as displayed after installation paste token from above
