https://blog.securityonion.net/2018/11/security-onion-hybrid-hunter-101-tech.html

We're excited to announce that Hybrid Hunter 1.1.1 is now available for testing and is considered our ALPHA 2 release!
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion-saltstack/blob/master/README.md

Changes:

• Alpha 2 is here!
• Hybrid Hunter minimal ISO image now available!
• Suricata 4.1.5.
• Bro/Zeek 2.6.4.
• TheHive 3.4.0 (Includes ES 6.8.3 for TheHive only).
• Fixed Bro/Zeek packet loss calculation for Grafana.
• Updated to latest Sensoroni which includes websockets support for job status updates without having to refresh the page.
• NIDS and HIDS dashboard updates.
• Playbook and ATT&CK Navigator features are now included.
• Filebeat now logs to a file, instead of stdout.
• Elastalert has been updated to use Python 3 and allow for use of custom alerters.
• Moved Bro/Zeek log parsing from Logstash to Elasticsearch Ingest for higher performance and lower memory usage!
• Several changes to the setup script have been made to improve stability of the setup process:
• Setup now modifies your hosts file so that the install works better in environments without DNS.
• You are now prompted for setting a password for the socore user.
• The install now forces a reboot at the end of the install. This fixes an issue with some of the Docker containers being in the wrong state from a manual reboot. Manual reboots are fine after the initial reboot.

Warnings and Disclaimers

• This ALPHA release is BLEEDING EDGE and TOTALLY UNSUPPORTED!
• If this breaks your system, you get to keep both pieces!
• This is a work in progress and is in constant flux.
• This is intended to build a quick prototype proof of concept so you can see what our new platform might look like. This configuration will change drastically over time leading up to the final release.
• Do NOT run this on a system that you care about!
• Do NOT run this on a system that has data that you care about!
• This should only be run on a TEST box with TEST data!
• Use of this script may result in nausea, vomiting, or a burning sensation.

Security Onion Hybrid Hunter 1.1.0 ALPHA Available for Testing!

We recently announced Security Onion Hybrid Hunter:
https://blog.securityonion.net/2018/11/security-onion-hybrid-hunter-101-tech.html

We're excited to announce that Hybrid Hunter 1.1.0 is now available for testing and is considered our ALPHA release!
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/securityonion-saltstack/blob/master/README.md

Major highlights of this ALPHA release:

• Alpha is here!! Check out the Hybrid Hunter Quick Start Guide.
• There is a new PCAP interface called Sensoroni. You can pivot directly from Kibana to Sensoroni via the _id field.
• Bond interface setup now uses nmcli for better compatibility in the network based setup script.
• Filebeat traffic for HH components now use a separate port (5644). This will allow you to send Beats to the default port (5044) and choose how you want to secure it. It is still recommended to use full SSL via Filebeat and if you already have this set up you will need to change to port 5044. We will continue to refine this in future versions.
• Authentication is now enabled by default for all the web based components. There will be some major changes before we get to BETA with how authentication in general is handled due to Elastic "Features" and other components.
• Add users to the web interface via so-user-add and follow the prompts.
• so-allow now exists to make your life easier.
• Bro 2.6.2.
• All Docker images were updated to reflect Alpha status.
• Disabled DEBUG logging on a lot of components to reduce space usage.
• Added a rule update cron job so the master pulls new rules down every day at 7AM UTC.
• You can now manually run a rule update using the so-rule-update command.
