What We Are Particularly Excited About
In this release we are particularly excited about these new Slips features:
- Add an alerts visualiser web interface for TAXII servers.
- Change the usage of the -g option; now Slips requires the interface name to monitor when using -g.
- Drop support for the dynamic reloading of the whitelist.
- Evidence handler and whitelist speedup by using bloom filters.
- Fix false positive evidence on connection to IP outside local network when the IP is multicast.
- Fix P2P unable to connect to the Redis database when using -m.
- Fix problem reporting evidence when Slips is monitoring one interface.
- Handle Slips and iptables failovers when running Slips as an access point in the Raspberry Pi.
