Security Onion 20120511 now available!


Security Onion 20120511 is now available!  This resolves the following issues:

Issue 205:      Bro's http.log needs to be per-interface
http://code.google.com/p/security-onion/issues/detail?id=205

Issue 264:      NSM package is missing the bro cron job
http://code.google.com/p/security-onion/issues/detail?id=264

Issue 265:      Upgrade httpry_agent to http_agent to support Bro logs
http://code.google.com/p/security-onion/issues/detail?id=265

Issue 266:      Remove httpry from NSM scripts
http://code.google.com/p/security-onion/issues/detail?id=266

In summary, this update migrates from the combination of httpry/httpry_agent to Bro/http_agent.  As noted in http://securityonion.blogspot.com/2012/02/security-onion-20120224-now-available.html, this means that networks with VLAN tags will now get HTTP logs in Sguil.

Hi Paul,

Yes, I believe some folks do use Security Onion as a host.

I don't know of anyone running SELinux on Ubuntu.

Security Onion is robust. It can run on bare metal or in VM, although you will probably get better performance on bare metal.

If you have further questions, please join our mailing list and ask there.

Thanks,
Doug

I haven't used this distro before and I'm trying a few different platforms for SNORT that will feed our SIEM. I have Security Onion set up and it's working perfect, Snorby and SQueRT both are working and displaying events. I'm having a problem when it comes to reading the MySQL database. I point our SIEM to the securityonion_db using the credentials for a user I created and it's not pulling the events. I tried looking for info on reading the MySQL database, but cant really find any.

Any suggestion?

Hi Jamie,

MySQL only listens on localhost by default.

If you have further questions, please join our mailing list and ask there.

Thanks,
Doug
