Technical requirements

The labs in this chapter assume you have completed the lab setup in Chapter 3; these labs will expand on the existing Elastic Stack deployment. If you have not set up the detection lab, we recommend returning to Chapter 3 and completing the exercises provided there first.

In this chapter, we will deploy a web server running on a Linux VM. The VM will require the following specs:

10 GB of hard disk space
2 GB of RAM

The labs in this chapter will not use the existing Windows host, so it can be powered off to save resources during this chapter’s labs.
