AttackBridge host info
The AttackBridge host is the platform for running Sxipher’s penetration testing software. It’s a pre-built docker container that runs every further test step. We created it for Linux hosts, but you can also run it in a Linux VM under Windows OS. Before running AttackBridge please ensure the host for it meets the following hardware requirements:
- Resources: at least 4 CPU cores, 16 GB of RAM, 40 GB of free disk space;
- x86-family CPU capable of hardware virtualization;
AttackBridge is designed to run directly attached to the network you are about to test, without any additional NATs and firewalls. If you run it in a virtualized environment, please ensure its VM has a network adapter in bridge mode.
Networking checklist:
- Direct or bridged networking;
- Allow outbound TCP traffic on ports 443, 9094-9096, 32000-32002, 32200 for *.sxipher.ai;
- Incoming TCP/UDP traffic for the AttackBridge should be allowed as its attack range varies.
The AttackBridge host requires docker engine to be installed. You can find how to set this up on an Ubuntu host using the link below:
