Tails OS with Encrypted Persistence on Unraid as a VM

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This post will show you how to run Tails OS as a VM with the Persistence feature enabled.

Running Tails as a VM is not recommended generally as it defeats many of the security features in Tails. For example, virtualization requires that you trust the hypervisor host, as the hypervisor has extra privileges over a VM that can reduce security and privacy of the VM.

I recommend reading Tails’s official documentation about virtualization considerations before continuing: https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/virtualization/

How to Run AlienVault OSSIM as a VM on Unraid

Introduction

For this post, I will show you how to setup Unraid to run AlienVault OSSIM as a VM. OSSIM is a powerful open-source SIEM that you can leverage on your network for free. I use OSSIM for network-wide vulnerability scanning and endpoint host intrusion detection.

OSSIM’s integrated HIDS is a fork from OSSEC. Additionally, OSSIM integrates with Open Threat Exchange (OTX), which can be installed on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints and servers for an up-to-date, open-source vulnerability scanning tool. I deploy the OTX installer via my free Mosyle account (MDM for MacOS) and Intune (MDM for Windows).
