Re-validate and document OS compatibility

[ShayNehmad]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We currently aren't sure which OSes we support since we upgraded to Python 3.

Describe the solution you'd like
Test which OS versions we currently work on (after upgrading to Python 3 in #394). After documenting which version we don't support, decide on a solution for each one:

• Ignore since the OS is too old for us to care about anyway (yes Ubuntu 8, I'm looking at you).
• Write a bootloader (in C++ or something) which reports back to the Island that this machine is too old for the regular Monkey to operate. Mark super-old machines in the Island as fatal security flaws. See Create monkey bootloader for obsolete systems  #479.
• Create compatibility, using solutions like staticx.

Re-test after implementing each solution and update the documentation.

The table should cover server OSes, not desktop, in terms of terminology. Win 2012 and not Win8

[VakarisZ]

That's already in the name of AMI's, I added it just for the ease of reference (also IF mokey can exploit server 2003 we can claim that it also exploits XP desktops, because the core is the same, right?).

[danielguardicore]

For everything except XP and Server 2003, you are correct :)
Specifically, XP and Server 2003 are old enough to be different kernel versions.

[danielguardicore]

I think we also need to cover prior versions of all these OSes, at least major versions

Hello, Do I understand correctly that Infection monkey is compatible with CentOS 7 too?

The setup page only shows:

But we only use CentOS / Red Hat at work so it would be supercool if I could get it to work on CentOS... :)

[VakarisZ]

Yes, monkey works and will continue to work on centos 7+, hrel 7+ and other OS with GLIBC 2.14+. In the future, monkey will exploit, but won't run on older than the mentioned machines.

@VakarisZ Thanks for the super fast answer. So is there an installation procedure for CentOS 7 / 8? I only find Debian / Ubuntu install script here? https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/tree/develop/deployment_scripts

[VakarisZ]

If you want development version I'm afraid there aren't any out of the box options, except modifying ubuntu scripts to suit Centos. For production we have built infection monkey for various platforms and you can download it from the official page.
