Web Security Map comes with online documentation, installation instructions and a series of YouTube videos. While we improve installation and operating practices all the time, these videos can come in handy to get a general sense of what Web Security Map does in practice.
These videos help with setting up an installation for the first time. This is an overview of those videos:
Installation
This video shows how to install Web Security Map on a virtual machine. This is done with a single command on a clean and dedicated machine.
Import Countries
This video shows how to import countries to the map. It shows how to create an administrative region (if it doesn’t exist yet) and import data from Open Street Maps. It will then guide how to display the new country to your visitors and how to allow scans to happen. Once you get the gist of it, you’ll be able to add another country in seconds.
