Configure Risk Scan Engine

This procedure demonstrates the quickstart configuration for Arctic Wolf Risk Scan Engine (formerly Joval) and the Joval Utilities component. For additional configuration information, see the User_Guide.pdf file in the Joval-Utilities zip file.

Requirements

Steps

  1. Download Joval Utilities
  2. Deploy Risk Scan Engine.
  3. Create a configuration file and run a scan.

Step 1: Download Joval Utilities

  1. Navigate to the latest release listing in the Customer Support Portal for Joval Utilities.
  2. Download the Joval Utilities zip file to an easily-accessible folder on your machine.

Step 2: Deploy Risk Scan Engine

  1. Create a working directory and name the folder riskscanengine.

  2. Right-click the Joval Utilities zip file and click Extract All.

  3. In the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders window, navigate to and select the riskscanengine folder.

    Note: Verify that Show extracted files when complete is selected.

  4. Name the new folder Joval-Utilities.

  5. Click Extract.

  6. Copy your license file to your working directory. The license file follows this naming convention: [your-domain].sig.xml.

  7. Create a folder in your working directory, and name it content. Your working directory should follow this structure:

    ├── riskscanengine
│   ├── content
│   ├── Joval-Utilities
│   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── Joval-Utilities.jar
│   │   ├── User_Guide.pdf
│   ├── [your-domain].sig.xml

  8. Run this command to move to your working directory:

    cd <working_directory_path>

  9. Run this command to make sure that Java is installed on your device:

    java -version

    For Joval Utilities version 6.5 or older, we recommend Java 8, as XML support is less stable in Java 9-1. Joval Utilities versions newer than 6.5 requires Java 11 or newer. To download Java, see Java Downloads.

  10. Run this command to make sure that the deployment was successful:

    java -jar Joval-Utilities/Joval-Utilities.jar -?

Step 3: Create a configuration file and run a scan

The Joval Scan Configuration Assistant guides you through the process of downloading assessment content and creating a scan configuration file. Once complete, you can review the output files and logs in the configured folders.

  1. Run this command to move to your working directory: 
    cd <working_directory_path>
  2. Run this command to start the assistant: 
    java -Dlicense.file=<your_domain>.sig.xml -jar Joval-Utilities/Joval-Utilities.jar scan
  3. Follow the prompts to create your configuration file.
  4. Run this command to run a scan: 
    java -Dlicense.file=<your_domain>.sig.xml -jar Joval-Utilities/Joval-Utilities.jar scan -c config.ini`
