What We Are Particularly Excited About
In this release we are particularly excited about these new Slips features:
Redesign the local web interface with Overview, Alerts, Evidence, Hosts, Firewall, ARP poisoning, P2P, Logs, Configuration, and Whitelists tabs.
Require a password to log in to the web interface.
Show host score history, firewall blocks, ARP poisoning events, and P2P statistics in the web interface.
Add firewall rule recovery when Slips shuts down.
Exclude P2P flows from port scan evidence, ML detection, and scoring.
Speed up whitelist lookups.
Fix Slips generating duplicate alerts.
Reduce CPU and memory usage.
Enable TLS certificate verification and fix an authentication bypass and Redis password handling in Iris.
Fix issues disabling detections in slips.yaml.
