SwaraVM has a wide variety of pre-installed tools and utilities. Catering to network traffic analysis, reverse engineering, mobile pentesting and web security. Of course we can never be able to install all the tools we come across but have indeed installed most of popular and commonly used ones. Let us know the ones we’ve missed and we will strive to include them in the next release.
- Linux. Mac or Windows host
- At least 2 CPU cores (the more the better)
- RAM 4GB recommended (the more the better i.e. 8GB when running traffic analysis)

After installing virtualbox and downloading the respective OVA files, simply extract them and proceed to import it into Virtualbox using the Import Appliance utility under the File menu item on virtualbox.
Note: Extracting the first split file of the compressed set of files, will usually automatically decompress the rest of the files.
Be sure to update the SwaraVM to match your keyboard setup and language, using the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration or by using the Region & Language setting.

Given that SwaraVM is build on top of Security Onion, we highly encourage using the soup script to automatically install the available updates for both lubuntu and Security Onion.

A majority of the tools included in swaraVM are either cloned from github, installed via pip/pip3 or direct downloads from the respective websites. Most of which have wiki’s or guides for updating the respective tools. This readily simplifies the update process, as you have full control of which tools you would like to update yourself individually. We refer to this approach as Maintain It Yourself (MIY).
Note: Some of the tools and utilities are located in the swara folder on the desktop. They are grouped into the various infosec related fields or disciplines.
