Prevoty-Jar-Check

Application to verify and validate the deployed Prevoty JAR files.

Introduction

This document describes how to validate the Prevoty JAR files, using the tool PrevotyJarVersion.jar.

Preparations

1. Get a copy of the tool PrevotyJarVersion.jar from the Prevoty Customer Success Portal here
2. Copy PrevotyJarVersion.jar onto the server running Prevoty
3. Get a copy of the Prevoty JVM arguments from the same server
4. Get the value for -javaagent

• E.g. /opt/Apache/Tomcat-8.5.5/Prevoty/prevoty-agent.jar

Execution

1. Log on to the server running Prevoty
2. Open a terminal
3. Go into the directory where you have copied PrevotyJarVersion.jar

• E.g.: cd /tmp

4. Execute PrevotyJarVersion.jar with the value of -javaagent, from the aforementioned step

• E.g.: java -jar ./PrevotyJarVersion.jar /opt/Apache/Tomcat-8.5.5/Prevoty/prevoty-agent.jar

5. If all is well, the tool reports the filename, component (agent or rasp), type (with version or version-less), and the version

• E.g.: Filename: prevoty-agent.jar

Component: agent

Type: version-less

Version: 3.9.4

1. If there is something wrong with the JAR file, the tool reports filename, component (agent or rasp), and the JAR file needs to be replaced

• E.g.: Filename: prevoty-agent.jar

Component: agent

ERROR: JAR has been tempered with; both Prevoty JAR files need to be replaced
