What We Are Particularly Excited About
In this release we are particularly excited about these new Slips features:
- Add an option to specify the current client IP in slips.conf to help avoid false positives.
- Better handling of URLhaus threat intelligence.
- Change how slips determines the local network of the current client IP.
- Fix issues with the progress bar.
- Fix problem logging alerts and errors to alerts.log and erros.log.
- Fix problem reporting evidence to other peers.
- Fix problem starting the web interface.
- Fix whitelists.
- Improve how the evidence for young domain detections is set.
- Remove the description of blacklisted IPs from the evidence description and add the source TI feed instead.
- Set evidence to all young domain IPs when a connection to a young domain is found.
- Set two evidence in some detections e.g. when the source address connects to a blacklisted IP, evidence is set for both.
- Use blacklist name instead of IP description in all evidence.
- Use the latest Redis and NodeJS version in all docker images.
