What We Are Particularly Excited About

In this release we are particularly excited about these new Slips features:

– Fix missing flows due to modules stopping before the processing is done.

– Code improvements. Change the structure of all modules.

– Fix how we detect vertical and horizontal port scans.

– Update the whitelist by adding all the IPs of whitelisted domains.

– Fixed error whitelisting Unencrypted HTTP traffic.

– Remove the feature of creating log directories using -l, now the only logs Slips generates are stored in the output/ directory.

– Added support for reading flows from any module, not just the input process, using –input-module.

– CYST module improvements.

– Detect invalid DNS answers when querying ad servers. thanks to @ganesh-dagadi .

– Update Slips known ports.

– Prevent model.bin and scaler.bin from changing in test mode. thanks to @haleelsada.

– Use either ‘ip neigh show’ or ‘arp -an’ to get gateway MAC from the host’s ARP table. thanks to @naturalnetworks.
