Elastic 6.8.2, Wazuh 3.9.5, and updated packages for Setup, CapMe, and sostat are now available for Security Onion!

The following updates are now available for Security Onion!
Elastic 6.8.2 Docker images
Wazuh 3.9.5 (packaged as ossec-hids-server - 3.9.5.1-ubuntu1securityonion1)
securityonion-capme - 20121213-0ubuntu0securityonion78
securityonion-elastic - 20190510-1ubuntu1securityonion65
securityonion-setup - 20120912-0ubuntu0securityonion312
securityonion-sostat - 20120722-0ubuntu0securityonion129

These updates resolve a whopping 85 issues!  You can see the full list of resolved issues at the end of this blog post, but here is a quick summary of the new features in this release.

Setup can now run interactively via CLI!  Setup started out as a GUI built using Zenity.  Many years ago, we added the ability to automate Setup using sosetup.conf and this helped folks who didn't want to run Setup via GUI.  When Mike Reeves began building Hybrid Hunter last year, he started a new Setup process from scratch using whiptail to allow interactive prompts via CLI.  We've now added whiptail support to our existing 16.04 Setup!

Interactive Setup via CLI

Running sosetup-minimal and choosing Evaluation Mode can run in only 4GB RAM!

sosetup-minimal Evaluation Mode


LOGSTASH_MINIMAL config moves parsing from Logstash to Elasticsearch ingest node (NIDS alerts and Bro logs in JSON format) allowing Logstash to start faster and consume less resources!

LOGSTASH_MINIMAL config

so-import-pcap has been completely overhauled!

Lots of bug fixes and performance improvements!

If you would like to switch from open source Elastic to Elastic Features, then you can run the new so-elastic-features and it will walk you through that process!

so-elastic-features


If you would like to enable native Elastic authentication, you can run the new so-elastic-auth!  This will automatically run so-elastic-features as shown above and then enable Elastic authentication which includes Role Based Access Control (RBAC)!

Kibana auth
so-elastic-auth enumerates your existing Sguil/Squert user accounts and automatically generates corresponding Elastic accounts with minimal privileges
