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
  • Availability of the iso image of the Astra Linux Special Edition 1.7.4 UU1 operating system.

    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:

  1. From the distribution kit, download the Central Node and Sensor component distribution kit (kata-cn-distribution-6.0.0-200-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz), the Sandbox component distribution kit (kata-sb-distribution-6.0.0-660-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz) and the file named iso-builder-6.0.0-200-x86_64_en-ru.tar.
  2. Create an iso_builder.sh file with the following content.
  3. Run the mkdir /var/kata_builder command.
  4. Put the files listed in step 1 in the newly created /var/kata_builder directory. Make sure that the Astra Linux Special Edition 1.7.4 UU1 iso image is named "installation-1.7.4.11-23.06.23_17.13.iso". If the name of the iso image is different, you must rename it.
  5. 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/installation-1.7.4.11-23.06.23_17.13.iso /var/kata_builder/kata-cn-distribution-6.0.0-200-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz /var/kata_builder/iso-builder-6.0.0-200-x86_64_en-ru.tar /var/kata_builder buildCNSensorAstra.iso
    • If you are preparing a disk image with the Sandbox component: sudo ./iso_builder.sh /var/kata_builder/installation-1.7.4.11-23.06.23_17.13.iso /var/kata_builder/kata-sb-distribution-6.0.0-660-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz /var/kata_builder/iso-builder-6.0.0-200-x86_64_en-ru.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 use other directories for storing files, you can run the command as follows: sudo ./iso_builder.sh <source_iso_host_path> <distribution_host_path> <iso_builder_image_host_path> <build_host_path> <target_iso_name>, where:

  • source_iso_host_path is the path to the distribution kit of the Astra Linux Special Edition 1.7.4 UU1 operating system.
  • distribution_host_path is the path to the kata-cn-distribution-6.0.0-200-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz or kata-sb-distribution-6.0.0-660-x86_64_en-ru.tar.gz distribution kit.
  • iso_builder_image_host_path is the path to the iso-builder-6.0.0-200-x86_64_en-ru.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 that is being assigned to the iso image.
