About the Course

"I started Security Onion in 2008 to provide a comprehensive platform for intrusion detection, network security monitoring, and log management.  Today, Security Onion has over 900,000 downloads and is being used by organizations around the world to help monitor and defend their networks.  This class is the culmination of years of lessons learned while building Security Onion and best practices developed while deploying Security Onion to real networks and doing real incident response with it."

Where is the class being held?

The class will be held at Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town/Duke Street, 1456 Duke St, Alexandria, VA 22314. The training site is convenient to the Metro and has a parking garage onsite.

What hardware will be required for the class?

***Security Onion Solutions will provide laptops for use in the class.***

Students can choose to bring their own laptop that meets the following requirements:

  • At least 16 GB RAM on the machine, so that a full 8-12 GB RAM can be dedicated to 1-2 virtual machines (VMs). More is better.
  • At least 8 total logical CPU cores on the machine, so that 4 cores can be dedicated to VMs. More is better.
  • One internal hard drive should have at least 50 GB free disk space. More is better. Solid State Drives are preferred, but not required.
  • Virtualization software must be installed. We recommend VMWare Workstation, Workstation Player, or Fusion. Oracle VirtualBox works also. Please, no ESXi or similar platforms. Each student machine will run at most two VMs, which students install in class from the Security Onion ISO image. The VMs will not interconnect with VMs on other student machines.
  • The hardware and operating system must be capable of running a 64 bit VM. Note: Some 64 bit machines don't automatically support a 64 bit VM. This should be tested ahead of class. See https://securityonion.net/docs/installation
  • Students need administrator/root access to the host operating system on the student machine. They should need this only once to add a virtual sniffing NIC to the VM.
  • Must have an adequately sized screen. Note: Tablet computers such as the Microsoft Surface usually do not meet this requirement.
  • Must be able to connect to a wireless network for Internet access.

Which version of Security Onion will we be using?

We'll be using the latest Security Onion as of three weeks before the first day of class.

The latest release can be found here: https://securityonion.net/download
