i wanted to try out the new #astra model from #openai so i worked back and forth with it on a janky little script to convert eve.json from #suricata to #mitre ILF, then i had it generate a pile of tests: https://github.com/cmhobbs/suricata2ilf
it's... fine? i guess? doesn't seem like a wild improvement over sol to me. much how #fable and #opus 5 didn't feel like terribly useful leaps to me.
a lot of this #ai stuff feels like mega-hype and i feel crazy when it doesn't work for me.

CW: release notes for Malcolm v26.08.0, a network traffic analysis tool suite for network security monitoring
Malcolm v26.08.0 adds a NetBox
purdue_zonecustom field that propagates ICS/OT network zone classifications to devices, prefixes, and virtual machines (and automatically to autopopulated devices from their containing prefix); Raspberry Pi 5 support for Hedgehog Linux; and, configurable Strelka scanner and disabled-Suricata-SID lists. This release also fixes five security vulnerabilities: an nginx RBAC bypass via percent-encoded, case-varied, or slash-doubled request paths; an archive-bomb bypass affecting raw-stream and lzip-compressed uploads; a case-variant path bypass of the nginx auth gate exposing the Arkime backend to forged identity headers; an Arkime authentication gap on sensor nodes that fell back todigestinstead of enforcings2s; and a CSRF vulnerability in the kiosk/script_callendpoint allowing unauthenticated data-destructive operations. Arkime, Zeek, NetBox, OpenSearch, OpenSearch Dashboards, Logstash, Filebeat, Keycloak, and other components have been updated as well. Several other bug fixes and general improvements are also included.https://github.com/idaholab/Malcolm/compare/v26.07.1...v26.08.0
See the Release Notes for the full set of new features, enhancements, bug fixes, and component version updates.
Malcolm is a powerful, easily deployable network 🖧 traffic analysis tool suite for network security monitoring 🕵🏻♀️.
Malcolm operates as a cluster of containers 📦, isolated sandboxes which each serve a dedicated function of the system. This makes Malcolm deployable with frameworks like Docker 🐋, Podman 🦭, and Kubernetes ⎈. Check out the Quick Start guide for examples on how to get up and running.
Alternatively, dedicated official ISO installer images 💿 for Malcolm and Hedgehog Linux 🦔 can be downloaded from Malcolm's releases page on GitHub. Due to limits on individual files in GitHub releases, these ISO files have been split 🪓 into 2GB chunks and can be reassembled with scripts provided for both Bash 🐧 (
release_cleaver.sh) and PowerShell 🪟 (release_cleaver.ps1). See Downloading Malcolm - Installer ISOs for instructions.As always, join us on the Malcolm discussions board 💬 to engage with the community, or pop some corn 🍿 and watch a video 📼.

🚀 SO-CRATES 1.1 is here — now with Light Mode! ☀️
The tool you loved as OhMyPCAP keeps getting better.
Your all-in-one Docker/Podman container for rapid analysis of PCAPs, logs, and binaries just leveled up.
✅ PCAPs → Suricata alerts, rich metadata, ASCII transcripts, stream carving
✅ Logs → Sigma alerts + originals
✅ Binaries → YARA matches + metadataPerfect for air-gapped environments, malware analysis, IR, threat hunting, forensics & teaching.
What’s your preference?
→ Dark Mode 🖤
→ Light Mode ☀️
→ Why not both?
→ Needs glorious 4-color CGA option lol

🚀Introducing SO-CRATES 1.0 — Security Onion Containerized Rapid Analysis of Threats, Evil, and Sus!
SO-CRATES is a single container image for analyzing pcap files, log files, and binary files. It was formerly known as OhMyPCAP.
Here's what you can do with SO-CRATES:
✅analyze pcap files and then review Suricata alerts, metadata, and extracted files
✅import log files and then review Sigma alerts and the original log entries
✅import binary files and then review YARA matches and file metadataAll of this runs in a single Docker/Podman container — perfect for air-gapped environments, malware analysis, incident response, threat hunting, forensics & teaching.

Background:
for my #homelab I set up #suricata in #nixos and have a functioning #ids #intrusiondetection system with a #grafana dashboard (#flake info here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/commit/9ebc4cd68ba461b0baad990cbdd4a4ef50b57045/features/network-appliance/README.md ).
Preliminary plan:
I now want to go to and #ips #intrusionprevention system that blocks threats detected. Current plan is #nftables with #nfqueue but there is no GUI for that it seems, and it is a bit clunky and black-boxy.
Question: What are the more user-friendly options for an IPS front-end / GUI ?
Thanks! -

Made a transparent network bridge on #NixOS which sits between router & #LAN switch, monitoring traffic for #IDS #intrusiondetection , #Suricata and #Zeek capture and analyze packets → #Filebeat ships #logs → #Elasticsearch with #GeoIP ingest pipeline → #Grafana setup of dashboard to visualise data is defined in flake itself so using the flake will give the same dashboard. #flake details here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/branch/main/features/network-appliance

During the #SharkBytes session at #SharkFest conference I had an opportunity to present a lightning talk about my pet project called IDS Lab.
It is a lab infrastructure deployable as docker containers, which simulates the small company network.The IDS Lab consists of web webserver with #Wordpress, #MySQL database, #Linux desktop with RDP, the #WireGuard VPN for "remote" workers and for connecting another virtual or physical machines into the lab network.
This part of infrastructure can be used for attack simulations.There are additional components for playing with logs and detections, too: #Fluentbit, #Suricata and #OpenObserve as lightweight SIEM.
In the #SIEM we already have preconfgured dashboards for alerts, netflows, web logs and logs from windows machines, if present.
Using the provided setup script, the whole lab can be up and running in up to 5 minutes. For more info, please check my GitHub repository with the IDS Lab:
