All communication between the intrusion detection daemon (blackd.exe)
and the user interface (blackice.exe) goes through file system
calls. This means that the interface can be run on any remote
machine.
For example, you might run the product on HUMPTY, which is running
some sort of gateway software, but your main machine is DUMPTY.
You want to run the intrusion detection/protection on HUMPTY,
but run the interface on DUMPTY. This works fine through
File and Print Sharing.
First, make sure that you use NetBEUI for File and Print
Sharing. (Using TCP/IP won't work). NetBEUI must be installed on
both machines.
On HUMPTY, share the directory the product is installed in.
For example:
net share NETICE="c:\Program Files\Network ICE\BlackICE"
The above example is for Windows NT. You can do this
from the Explorer GUI by right-hand-mouse-clicking
on the directory icon and selecting "Sharing".
On DUMPTY, map a drive to HUMPTY:
net use X: \\HUMPTY\NETICE
Go to the X: drive and run the "blackice.exe" program. It will
now run on DUMPTY, but monitor HUMPTY. When an intrusion
occurs, the icon will start flashing.
Note: Only one copy of the interface can currently run at the
same time.
