Google (GRR) Rapid Response – Incident Response Framework

Table of Contents

GRR consists of an agent (client) that can be deployed to a target system, and
server infrastructure that can manage and talk to the agent.

Client Features:

  • Cross-platform support for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows clients.
  • Live remote memory analysis using open source memory drivers for Linux, Mac
    OS X and Windows, and the Rekall memory
    analysis framework.
  • Powerful search and download capabilities for files and the Windows registry.
  • Secure communication infrastructure designed for Internet deployment.
  • Client automatic update support.
  • Detailed monitoring of client CPU, memory, IO usage and self-imposed
    limits.

Server Features:

  • Fully fledged response capabilities handling most incident response and
    forensics tasks.
  • OS-level and raw file system access, using the SleuthKit (TSK).
  • Enterprise hunting (searching across a fleet of machines) support.
  • Fully scalable back-end to handle very large deployments.
  • Automated scheduling for recurring tasks.
  • Fast and simple collection of hundreds of digital forensic artifacts.
  • Asynchronous design allows future task scheduling for clients, designed to
    work with a large fleet of laptops.
  • Ajax Web UI.
  • Fully scriptable IPython console access.
  • Basic system timelining features.
  • Basic reporting infrastructure.

 

Requirements

  • A linux box. At the moment the full install is thoroughly tested end to end on Ubuntu Server 14.04 64-bit [1]. It works on other things fine [2], but that is what it’s tested on.

  • Recommend > 1GB Ram and a modern CPU if you want to run everything on one box
    (note that free Amazon EC2 instances don’t have enough RAM).

  • Some clients to talk to the server. OSX, Windows and Linux agents are
    supported.

Making it Go

Download the installation script e.g. using wget:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/grr/master/scripts/install_script_ubuntu.sh

Run the installation script:

sudo bash install_script_ubuntu.sh
