Support

As an open source project this software is not officially supported by CrowdStrike. As such we ask that you please refrain from sending inquiries to the CrowdStrike support team. The project maintainers will be working with active community contributors to address bugs and supply new features.

Getting Started

Please refer to the Wiki page for instructions on installing and configuring the application. You can download the installer through the release page.

Development

Being a Windows based application, the tool was developed with the use of .NET 4.5, C#, ASP.NET MVC 4, Entity Framework and PowerShell. If forking or cloning the repository, please note the code was written with Visual Studio 2015. Compatibility with earlier Visual Studio versions can be problematic. You can either rebuild projects individually and copy over the compiled DLL/EXE to the requires location or alternatively re-complile the installer project to produce a new MSI package with you code changes. To do this, open a visual studio command prompt, change directories to the FalconOrchestrator.Installer project and execute the command msbuild /t:Build;PublishWebSite;Harvest;WIX setup.build
