If you choose not to deploy the Docker containers for the iTDS directly as explained in the previous article, you can download the .OVA files and deploy the virtual machine (VM) image using the hypervisor of your choice given that it can import VM images in OVA format.
If not supported, please refer to the instructions for your hypervisor to guide you through the conversion of OVA file format to the compatible format.
Please note: - OVA images are created to be compatible with VMWare ESX 5.5. (hardware version 10) or later. - OVA files are not compatible with Microsoft HyperV.
On the Electronic Delivery email that you receive there will be a link to download the server virtual image for the iTDS. The image is provided as in Open Virtualization Format (.ova) and can be run using VMware, VirtualBox, or most other hypervisors.
Please note that using OVA images for Maltego server deployment is a Legacy option and some older versions of VMWare ESXi are known to cause issues importing Maltego server OVA images.
Once the server is running on your hypervisor, all the required services will start as soon as the virtual machine has booted.
The iTDS web interface can be accessed using the virtual machine's IPv4 address or the DNS Name. e.g., https://{{ Server IPv4 or DNS Name}}:8000/

SSH Access to the Server
Once the server is running you can SSH onto it with the following default credentials:
Username: maltego
Password: tasx
Port: 22
Warning: The default password should be changed the first time you run the server and the SSH port should not be accessible from the Internet.
