Security Onion Hybrid Hunter 1.2.1 - Beta 1 Available for Testing!
In 2018, Security Onion Solutions started working on the next major version of Security Onion, code-named Hybrid Hunter:
https://blog.securityonion.net/2018/11/security-onion-hybrid-hunter-101-tech.html
Today we are proud to release Security Onion codenamed “Hybrid Hunter” 1.2.1 aka Beta 1. Hybrid Hunter 1.2.1 officially supports Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 7, which means it no longer supports Ubuntu 16.04. Our ISO image will continue to be based on CentOS 7 for the foreseeable future. There are plans to support CentOS 8 once podman reaches full compatibility with docker.
This release moves us to Elastic 7 and begins to embrace Elastic Common Schema (ECS). This change includes overhauled dashboards and a new prefix of "so-" for Elasticsearch indices. Among other advantages, migrating to ECS means that other products using ECS should more easily inter-operate with Hybrid Hunter. Over the next few releases, we plan to embrace ECS more fully. Stay tuned!
Finally, we are very excited to announce the introduction of the Security Onion Console! Over the next few releases, we will continue to improve and add more functionality to the Security Onion Console. Check it out and let us know what you think!
To read more and download Hybrid Hunter, please see:
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion-saltstack/wiki/ISO
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion-saltstack/blob/master/README.md
If you have any questions about Hybrid Hunter, please post a message on our reddit community and prefix the title with [Hybrid Hunter]!
https://www.reddit.com/r/securityonion/
Major Highlights in this Release
Thanks
Lots of love went into this release!
Special thanks to all our folks working so hard to make this release happen!
