Preparing an installation disk image with the Central Node, Sensor, and Sandbox components

Before installing the application, you must prepare an iso image of the installation disk with the Central Node, Sensor, and Sandbox components based on the Astra Linux operating system.

Minimum hardware requirements for a device that can be used to create the iso image:

CPU: 4 cores, clock rate 2500 MHz or more.
RAM: 8 GB.
Available disk space: 100 GB.

Software requirements:

Operating system based on an up-to-date Linux kernel.
Docker 20 or later
An ISO image of Astra Linux Special Edition 1.8.2.8 without Debian Installer (no '-di' in the name of the image). In this section, the image is referred to as astra-installation.iso.
Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform does not support other versions of the Astra Linux operating system.

To mount an iso image of the Central Node and Sensor or Sandbox components based on the Astra Linux operating system:

Download the following files from the distribution kit:
1. The Central Node and Sensor distribution kit named kata-cn-distribution-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar.gz.
2. The Sandbox distribution kit named kata-sb-distribution-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar.gz.
3. The file for making an iso image named iso-builder-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar.
Create an iso_builder.sh file with the following content.
#!/bin/bash

usage="Builds the KATA install ISO.

Usage:

$(basename "$0") [-h] source_iso distribution iso_builder_image build target_iso_name

where:

-h, --help - show this text and exit

source_iso - absolute path to the source OS ISO file

distribution - absolute path to the KATA distribution archive

iso_builder_image - absolute path to the iso_builder docker image

build - absolute path to a temporary build directory

target_iso_name - absolute path to the resulting ISO file

"

if [ "$#" -eq 0 ] || [ "$1" == "-h" ] || [ "$1" == "--help" ]

then

echo "$usage"; exit 10;

fi

if [ "$#" -lt 5 ]

then

echo "Error: not enough arguments. Please refer to the help text."; exit 11;

fi

docker load -i $3

docker run -v $1:$1 -v $2:$2 -v $4:/build kaspersky/kata/deployment/iso_builder:6.0 --source-iso-uri file://$1 --kata-distribution-uri file://$2 --target-iso-name $5
Run the following command:
mkdir /var/kata_builder
Put the files listed in step 1 and the astra-installation.iso image in the newly created /var/kata_builder directory.
Run the following command:
- If you are preparing a disk image with the Central Node and Sensor components:
  sudo ./iso_builder.sh /var/kata_builder/astra-installation.iso /var/kata_builder/kata-cn-distribution-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar.gz /var/kata_builder/iso-builder-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar /var/kata_builder buildCNSensorAstra.iso
- If you are preparing a disk image with the Sandbox component:
  sudo ./iso_builder.sh /var/kata_builder/astra-installation.iso /var/kata_builder/kata-sb-distribution-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar.gz /var/kata_builder/iso-builder-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar /var/kata_builder buildSandboxAstra.iso
After running the commands, the installation disk images with the Central Node and Sensor components named buildCNSensorAstra.iso and buildSandboxAstra.iso are located in the /var/kata_builder directory.
If you keep files in different directories, you can run the following command:
sudo ./iso_builder.sh <source_iso_host_path> <distribution_host_path> <iso_builder_image_host_path> <build_host_path> <target_iso_name>

In the above command:

source_iso_host_path is the path to the distribution kit of Astra Linux Special Edition 1.8.2.8.
distribution_host_path is path to the kata-cn-distribution-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar.gz distribution kit.
iso_builder_image_host_path is the path to the iso-builder-8.0.0.1-x86_64_en-ru-zh.tar file.
build_host_path is the path where the mounted ISO image must be located, without specifying the name being assigned to the ISO image.
target_iso_name is the name assigned to the ISO image.
