Known Issues ⚠️

I have noticed when running the new 5.0+ version of malice/elasticsearch on a linux host you need to increase the memory map areas with the following command

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

Elasticsearch requires at least 4GB of RAM to run. You can lower it to 2GB by running the following (before running a scan):

$ docker run -d \
         -p 9200:9200 \
         -name malice-elastic \
         -e ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms2g -Xmx2g" \
         malice/elasticsearch
