Technical requirements
The requirements for this chapter are as follows:
- Minimum requirements: A computing device with either the amd64 (x86_64/64-bit) or i386 (x86/32-bit) architecture. It should contain at least 8 GB of RAM.
- Recommended requirements: Based on feedback from cybersecurity field practitioners, aim for the amd64 (x86_64/64-bit) architecture with 16 GB of RAM – more is better – and up to 64 GB of additional disk space. Some of the applications in this chapter are resource hogs and while they’ll work with the minimum requirements, we can’t promise it will be smooth sailing.
