How to Install the Agent
Note: The Web Inspector PCI is powered by Comodo HackerGuardian technology and uses HackerGuardian Agent software for internal scanning purposes. |
The HG Agent software is available in three formats:
- ISO image - To create a Live, bootable CD for configuring the agent on a physical machine.
- Zip file - To create a Live, bootable USB stick for configuring the agent on a physical machine.
- VMware Player - Version of the agent designed to run under VMware Player.
Installing and configuring the agent on a physical machine requires you to create a Live CD or Live USB. Download the VMware version if you wish to run under VMware player.
- Download the iso image file comodo_1.0.iso from http://download.comodo.com/hg/comodo_1.0.iso
- Burn a CD with the iso file.
- Download the zip file comodo_1.0.zip from http://download.comodo.com/hg/comodo_1.0.zip
- Plug in a USB memory drive (minimum 64MB, >128MB is preferred), pre-formatted with either FAT16 or FAT32 file system.
Note: USB drive must be formatted and contain only one partition with no hidden partitions. |
For UNIX/Linux systems -
- Unzip comodo.zip on the USB drive (it must be mounted somewhere like /mnt/usb, ex: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb)
- Type cd /mnt/usb/boot && chmod -R +x .

For Windows XP/2000/Vista systems -

target device in your network and added to LAN Device Management area
of Hackerguardian. All you need to do is to boot the device through
the Live USB.
