Acquiring NetEye ISO Image¶

All the NetEye 4 ISO images can be found on the NetEye download site. To be sure you have downloaded a valid image, the following verification procedure must be followed.

Import the public GPG key¶

Go to the Downloads section of the NetEye blog, then move to NetEye –> GPG public key and save public-gpg-key. From the CLI, extract the archive and then import the key with the following command:

# gpg --import public.gpg

Verify now the imported key:

# gpg --fingerprint net.support@wuerth-phoenix.com

If the fingerprint matches the one reported on the NetEye blog, you have the right key installed on your system.

Download and Verify the ISO¶

NetEye is shipped as ISO images and a link to the Würth Phoenix repository containing the images and supporting material will be provided by the Support Team after the contract is signed.

From the link provided you will need to download the following files.

The desired ISO file (always download the most recent one)
The sha256sum.txt.asc file

Save both files in the same directory, then proceed to check that they are not corrupted: from the CLI, move to the directory where the files have been saved, then execute the following commands.

To verify the sha256sum.txt.asc file execute:

# gpg --verify sha256sum.txt.asc

The output will look something like this:

gpg: Signature made Tue 29 Sep 2020 03:50:01 PM CEST
gpg:               using RSA key B6777D151A0C0C60
gpg: Good signature from "Wuerth Phoenix <net.support@wuerth-phoenix.com>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: E610 174A 971E 5643 BC89  A4C2 B677 7D15 1A0C 0C60

Once you have verified the signature of the sha256sum.txt.asc file, you can then verify the ISO file with the following command:

# sha256sum -c sha256sum.txt.asc 2>&1 | grep OK

The output will look something like this:

# ./neteye4.23-rhel8.stable.iso: OK

At this point the ISO file is verified and it is ready to be used. In case the output is different from OK, the ISO image may be corrupted and needs to be downloaded once more.

Note

Both ISO and sha256sum.txt.asc files are generated nightly, so make sure to always download both of them each time you need.
