Snare for Linux 1.7.0 and 2.0.0 released

There are some important updates in this version of the agent that you should be aware of:

  • There are now two release versions of the agent:
    • 1.x series of the agent is now for RHEL5 and below only (auditd versions less than 2.0)
    • 2.x series of the agent is for RHEL6 and above (auditd versions greater than or equal to 2.0)
  • A number of security enhancements have been made to the micro web interface that will eventually make their way into the other agents
    • Cookies are now required to commit configuration changes
    • The authentication method has been updated to protect passwords in transit
    • The Remote Configuration web page has been updated to protect password updates in transit
    • Configuration changes cannot be made via the address bar only

Any questions or comments, head to the forum and leave us a message.
