Doug Burks has done a great work integratingNetworkMiner intoSecurity Onion. One really cool thing he has done is to build a Debian repository that includes NetworkMiner. This means that NetworkMiner (and its dependencies) can be installed on Debian / Ubuntu machines by using apt-get!
How to install NetworkMiner with a one-liner:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:securityonion/stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install securityonion-networkminer
You can then start NetworkMiner with the following syntax:
/opt/networkminer/networkminer [optional-pcap-file]
NetworkMiner running on a vanilla Xubuntu machine
Users of non-Debian OS's (i.e. other Linux flavors as well as Mac OS X and FreeBSD) will, however, still need to install NetworkMiner and Mono manually.
