Getting Started with the Host scanner
On this page we will show you how to use the Cryptosense Host scanner to obtain a cryptography scan from the filesystem.
Prerequisites
Before you use the Host scanner, make sure you have followed the installation instructions.
Scanning a Filesystem
Choose a directory where you have write access to store the result of the filesystem scan.
Linux
Put the cs-host-scanner
executable inside the directory and run the following command:
./cs-host-scanner \
--root /path/to/root/directory \
--output scan.cst.gz
Windows
Put the cs-host-scanner.exe
executable , the libgmp-10.dll
and zlib1.dll
libraries
together inside it and run the following command:
.\cs-host-scanner.exe `
--root \path\to\root\directory `
--output scan.cst.gz
When the Host scanner has finished executing, you'll find a scan.cst.gz
trace file in
your directory.
This trace file is now ready for
uploading to the Cryptosense
Analyzer Platform. The directory where the Host scanner writes the trace can be changed
with the --output
option. See the manual to get a list
of the available options, learn how to use those options and learn what else you could do
with the Host scanner.
