I'm on cloud nine since the v24.06.0 release of Malcolm, bringing you (who could have imagined?!?) new features, improvements, component version updates, and a few bug fixes. Please see the release notes, particularly if you've been using NetBox, as an update to that tool brings some backwards-compatibility-breaking changes (sorry ๐ข).
- Features and enhancements
- Support for multiple NetBox sites (issue #449)
- Malcolm now supports enrichment from a NetBox inventory for asset interaction analysis across multiple sites. The NetBox site can be specified for uploaded PCAP, for a Hedgehog Linux sensor, and for Malcolm live capture.
- JA4+ replaces the JA3 TLS fingerprinting standard from 2017 (see also this blog post) (issue #419)
- Support uploading Windows Event Log evtx files (issue #465) and update associated dashboard
- Document using GitHub runners to build Malcolm images (for contributors' guide, issue #491)
- Generate new forwarder SSL keys on-the-fly when transferring between Malcolm and Hedgehog Linux (issue #492)
- Incorporate ATT&CK-based Control-system Indicator Detection for Zeek (ACID) (issue #489), a collection of Operational Techonology (OT) protocol indicators developed to alert on specific ATT&CK for ICS behaviors
- Add platform architecture and machine boot time to Malcolm version API
- Add links to the navigation pane of most dashboards to "other" dashboards for non-network log data (e.g., resource monitoring, Windows Event logs, etc.)
- Support for multiple NetBox sites (issue #449)
- Component version updates
- NetBox to v4.0.6 (from v3.6.7, issue #385)
- OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards to v2.15.0
- and lots more...
- Bug fixes
- Arkime viewer not rolling PCAPs (issue #484)
- Free up space in GitHub runner environment building ISO images to avoid build errors due to exhausted disk space
