The Monkey performs queries out to the Internet on two separate occasions:
1. The Infection Monkey agent checks if it has internet access by performing requests to pre-configured domains. By default, these domains are `updates.infectionmonkey.com` and `www.google.com.` The request doesn't include any extra information - it's a GET request with no extra parameters. Since the Infection Monkey is 100% open-source, you can find the domains in the configuration [here](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/85c70a3e7125217c45c751d89205e95985b279eb/monkey/infection_monkey/config.py#L152) and the code that performs the internet check [here](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/85c70a3e7125217c45c751d89205e95985b279eb/monkey/infection_monkey/network/info.py#L123). This **IS NOT** used for statistics collection.
1. After installing the Monkey Island, it sends a request to check for updates. The request doesn't include any PII other than the IP address of the request. It also includes the server's deployment type (e.g., Windows Server, Debian Package, AWS Marketplace) and the server's version (e.g., "1.6.3"), so we can check if we have an update available for this type of deployment. Since the Infection Monkey is 100% open-source, you can inspect the code that performs this [here](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/85c70a3e7125217c45c751d89205e95985b279eb/monkey/monkey_island/cc/services/version_update.py#L37). This **IS** used for statistics collection. However, due to this data's anonymous nature, we use this to get an aggregate assumption of how many deployments we see over a specific time period - it's not used for "personal" tracking.

You'll have to [install `hugo`](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/), a text editor that's good for markdown (`vscode` and `vim` are good options) and `git`.
Note: Installing `hugo` via `apt` is not recommended because Hugo is usually few [versions behind](https://github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-modules/issues/703) the latest for Debian and Ubuntu package managers. Refer to latest [releases](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases) of Hugo.
