What We Are Particularly Excited About
In this release we are particularly excited about these new Slips features:
- Use All-ID hash to fingerprint flows stored in the flows database.
- Increase the weight of port scan alerts by increasing its threat level.
- Fix false positive port scan alerts.
- Add an option in slips.conf to wait for the update manager to update all TI feeds before starting Slips to avoid missing any blacklisted IPs evidence.
- Fix error detecting password guessing.
- Fix issues reading all flows when running on a low-spec device.
- Improve the stopping of slips and termination of processes.
- Improve the progress bar.
- Fix reading flows from stdin.
- Better code, logs, and unit tests.
