Data Service As Systemd

The Data Service can be run as a Systemd daemon.

The Unit file for the C2 server is at the root of the repo (if you cloned it) as wiregost-data.service.

Setting up the Unit

The content is the following (that you can just copy/paste of course):

[Unit]
Description=Wiregost Data Service 
ConditionPathExists=$PATH_TO_DATA_SERVICE_BINARY
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=$USER
Group=$GROUP
LimitNOFILE=1024

# Run Management
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
startLimitIntervalSec=60

# File paths
WorkingDirectory=$PATH_TO_REPO
ExecStart=$PATH_TO_DATA_SERVICE_BINARY --name=wiregost

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The following fields should be changed/set:

• $USER: the user name you want to run the Data Service with
• $GROUP: the group name you want to run the Data Service with
• $PATH_TO_DATA_SERVICE_BINARY: The path to the Data Service executable
• $PATH_TO_REPO: The path the Wiregost repo (if you cloned it), or wherever you want if you use either the statically-compiled Data Service or one of the binary releases

Then copy the Unit file to /usr/lib/systemd/system/ directory (for Arch Linux at least, check for you distribution)

Running the Unit

Then you can use the classics:

systemctl start wiregost-data.service

or

systemctl enable wiregost-data.service

---

Logging

You can check logs from Wiregost by using the following command:

journalctl -f -u wiregost-data.service
