Software requirements

GravityZone requirements

BEST for Linux is compatible with GravityZone Cloud and GravityZone On-Premises versions 6.13.1-1 or newer.

Additional software requirements

  • On-access scanning is available for supported operating systems as follows:

    • Kernel 2.6.38 or higher - Supports all Linux distributions. The fanotify kernel option must be enabled.

    • Kernel 2.6.32 - 2.6.37 - CentOS 6.x Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x - Bitdefender provides support via DazukoFS with prebuilt kernel modules.

  • You need auditd as a fallback mechanism in case kProbes are not available for your Kernel version.

Licensing

Linux operating systems are considered Server operating systems by Bitdefender agent and will use server license seats from your pool of licenses.

Although deploying the software has no direct license requirement, depending on your license some functionality might not be available. For protection layers availability refer to Features by endpoint type.

Installing

For additional information on installing BEST for Linux refer to Install security agents - standard procedure.

There are several options to install BEST on a Linux machine:

  1. An installation task from the GravityZone Control Center > Network inventory section.

  2. Manual installation via a installation package downloaded from the Control Center.

    Example:

    1. Go to Network > Packages and select the install package to be downloaded.

    2. Select Send Download Links to expand the provided links.

    3. Copy the Linux string and paste it into the shell on your target endpoint to download the installation package.

    4. Unpack the installation file:

      # tar -xvf setup_downloader.tar
    5. Change permissions to the installation file so that you can execute it:

      # chmod +x installer
    6. Run the installation file:

      # ./installer

To check that the agent has been installed on the endpoint, run this command:

$ systemctl status bdsec*

Scanning

Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools for Linux provides on-access scanning for a number of preconfigured system directories.

To review this list or add other directories to be scanned, use the following steps:

  1. Choose a policy from the Control Center Policies page.

  2. Go to the Antimalware > On-Access section.

  3. Next to On-access Scanning, click Settings.

  4. Click Advanced.

  5. Configure which folders the agent should scan constantly.

Additionally, you can schedule Full / Custom / Quick Scan tasks by using these steps:

  1. Choose a policy from the Control Center Policies page.

  2. Go to the Antimalware > On-Demand section.

  3. Click the +Add button.

  4. Select a scan type. With the Custom Scan type you can configure scan options and folders to be scanned in detail.

  5. Configure the scan task scheduling options as needed.

  6. Configure scan options and target as needed.

  7. Click the Save button.

To manually scan Linux endpoints:

  • Run the task from the Control Center Network inventory, by right-clicking the target machine and selecting Tasks > Scan.

  • Start the scan task locally using the command line interface. For more information, refer to Scanning for malware.

Troubleshooting

You can check Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools services by running the following commands:

Check services status:

bd status

Start service

bd start

Stop services:

bd stop

Restart bd:

bd restart

Other commands:

To detect any system proxy:

/opt/bitdefender-security-tools/bin/bdconfigure getsystemproxy

To check all of the versions that were previously installed on the machine as well as the current one, open vhist.dat:

/opt/bitdefender-security-tools/etc/vhist.dat

Deploying EDR using Linux AuditD

Note

We recommend this method to be used only when neither KProbes nor eBPF methods are not available. The AuditD subsystem was not designed to be used in this manner and may cause increased CPU usage.

When deploying EDR using Linux AuditD, BEST for Linux automatically modifies several specific files. These changes ensure that AudtiD will perform on par with previously available methods. The changes are specified below:

Note

Make sure you have AuditD installed on your endpoint before deploying the EDR module.

  • /etc/audit/rules.d/

    • BEST will backup all files from /etc/audit/rules.d/ (for example, /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules will become /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules.bak).

    • BEST will create a rules file: /etc/audit/rules.d/bd_ausecd.rules.

    • BEST will restart the auditd service, which includes regenerating /etc/audit/audit.rules from /etc/audit/rules.d/*.rules.

    • When EDR is disabled or BEST is stopped, /etc/audit/rules.d/bd_ausecd.rules will be removed and backed-up files will be restored.

  • /etc/default/auditd

    Note

    These modifications will only occur for specific operating systems. Refer to this table for more information.

    • BEST will backup /etc/default/auditd to /etc/default/auditd.bdsec-bak in order to have a copy of the original file content.

    • BEST will modify the content of /etc/default/auditd.

    • When EDR is disabled or BEST is stopped, file content will be restored to previous state.

  • /etc/sysconfig/auditd

    Note

    These modifications will only occur for specific operating systems. Refer to this table for more information.

    • BEST will backup /etc/sysconfig/auditd to /etc/sysconfig/auditd.bdsec-bak in order to have a copy of the original file content.

    • BEST will modify the content of /etc/sysconfig/auditd.

    • When EDR is disabled or BEST is stopped, file content will be restored to previous state.

  • /etc/audit/auditd.conf

    Note

    These modifications will only occur for specific operating systems. Refer to this table for more information.

    • BEST will backup /etc/audit/auditd.conf to /etc/audit/auditd.conf.bdsec-bak in order to have a copy of the original file content.

    • BEST will modify the content of /etc/audit/auditd.conf.

    • When EDR is disabled (or BEST is stopped), file content will be restored to previous state.

  • /lib/systemd/system/auditd.service

    Note

    These modifications will only occur for specific operating systems. Refer to this table for more information.

    • BEST will backup /lib/systemd/system/auditd.service to /lib/systemd/system/auditd.service.bdsec-bak in order to have a copy of the original file content.

    • BEST will modify the content of /lib/systemd/system/auditd.service.

    • When EDR is disabled or BEST is stopped, file content will be restored to previous state.

  • /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service

    Note

    These modifications will only occur for specific operating systems. Refer to this table for more information.

    • BEST will backup /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service.bdsec-bak in order to have a copy of the original file content.

    • BEST will modify the content of /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service.

    • When EDR is disabled or BEST is stopped, file content will be restored to previous state.

  • /etc/systemd/system/auditd.service

    Note

    These modifications will only occur for specific operating systems. Refer to this table for more information.

    • When BEST enables the Audit backend for the first time, it will backup /etc/systemd/system/auditd.service to /etc/systemd/system/auditd.service.bdsec-bak in order to have a copy of the original file content.

    • If the file does not exist, a dummy backup will be created: /etc/systemd/system/auditd.service.bak-missing.

    • If the file exists, its contents will be copied to /etc/systemd/system/auditd.service.bak.

    • BEST will copy the modified file /lib/systemd/system/auditd.service (or /usr/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service, depending on the distro according to the table below) to /etc/systemd/system/auditd.service.

    • When EDR is disabled or BEST is stopped, file content will be restored to previous state from /etc/systemd/system/auditd.service.bak (or deleted, if only auditd.service.bak-missing exists).
