B. Installing Cuckoo - nkd071819/Cuckoo-V2 GitHub Wiki

Create a User

$ sudo adduser cuckoo
$ sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers cuckoo

Raising File Limits

$ sudo -i

You should now be in Root

$ vi /etc/security/limits.conf

Scroll to the bottom using the down arrow. After #@student, press enter to create space between #@student and # End of file

In that space, Copy and Paste this:

#*         hard    nofile      500000
#*         soft    nofile      500000
#root      hard    nofile      500000
#root      soft    nofile      500000

Type :wq to save and exit

You can check that the file has been updated by looking at the text file starting at the very begining of the file chain: etc folder -> security folder -> limits.conf
