If you’re planning to run nidhogg with it’s scanning capability, you won’t get around to sadly run it as root. (or with cap rights)
This is due the nmap scanning parameter and arp scanning mechanism.
Ideally you’re using the already created docker, to mitigate some of the security concerns, not all though.

• libpcap0.8

• nmap

• curl

• sqlite3-0

1. Clone repository or download source

2. Build nidhogg cargo build --release

3. Manually create config files (see example config.yml)

1. Download latest .deb

2. Install with dpkg dpkg -i xx.deb

3. Configure application (/etc/nidhogg/)

Get the Docker image from:
https://hub.docker.com/r/b401/nidhogg

https://hub.docker.com/r/b401/nidhogg

docker run -it --net=host --privileged -v $(pwd)/config.yml:/etc/nidhogg/config.yml -v $(pwd)/mappings.xml:/etc/nidhogg/mappings.xml -v $(pwd)/portspecs.yml:/etc/nidhogg/portspecs.yml b401/nidhogg:final

See examples for more indepth settings.

Uninstalling is as easy as installing.
If you’ve installed nidhogg via .deb, just remove the deb with apt.

apt remove nidhogg

rm -r /etc/nidhogg && rm /usr/bin/nidhogg
