New securityonion-bro-scripts and securityonion-web-page packages

As mentioned previously, Seth Hall has developed some comprehensive ShellShock detection scripts for Bro:
"This script detects successful exploitation of the Bash vulnerability with CVE-2014-6271 nicknamed "ShellShock". It's more comprehensive than most of the detections around in that it's watching for behavior from the attacked host that might indicate successful compromise or actual vulnerability."

Seth has updated these scripts again today to "Add shellscripts as a post-exploit detection mechanism.":
https://github.com/broala/bro-shellshock/commit/4be009f9b7bf8ce9b99533cb4c7b8dd76aba87b7

I've updated the securityonion-bro-scripts package to include these changes.  I've also updated the securityonion-web-page package to include some ELSA queries for "ShellShock Exploits" and "ShellShock Scanners".

New package versions:
securityonion-bro-scripts - 20121004-0ubuntu0securityonion38
securityonion-web-page - 20120722-0ubuntu0securityonion25
