Welcome to niku - almost

This year, our IDS is a client-based web server. In order to use it, follow the following steps:

  1. Install the prerequisites: 
    pip install flask flask_wtf
  2. Download the client: 
    git clone git@git.seclab.cs.ucsb.edu:sherlock/niku-client.git && cd niku-client
  3. Run the local server: 
    python run.py
  4. Navigate to http://localhost:5000 and start your analysis!

If at any point an update is released, you may upgrade to the latest version of the client by simply pulling the git repository.

If at any point you run into weird issues, your first debugging step should be to remove 

~/.niku
. This will clear your search history and local cache.

Please be gentle with the server!
