ThreatMapper VS Apache Log4j 2

Though the Reddit-Mod war has delivered another excellent find. well several actually, but the one I'm posting now is called "Threat Mapper". Its a security scanner, will a fantastic UI, and works across most infrastructure... including VMs, Containers and the main Cloud Providers..

If you like Wiz.io but don't have a million dollars or so lying around, I'm finding the community edition of Deepfence (https://deepfence.io/) pretty good.

ThreatMapper is an option for your team member, particularly if you're looking to scan Kubernetes or Fargate environments as the installation is very easy. It's a little more complex for hosts (you need to install a docker runtime on each to run the sensor locally), but should be worth any additional trouble. The GUI gives you a map of workloads, traffic flows, vulnerabilities found on each workload and host, and which are highest risk.

Full disclosure - I work for an open source project called ThreatMapper that performs run-time vulnerability scanning and anything you say might be used to make the project better - thank you!

I don't think that's a good example. While Apache devs are volunteers and Microsoft devs are employees, they were criticized for their slow response time and seeming lack of urgency until it was far too late.

The official website. The vulnerability was introduced in 2.0-beta7 which was released in 2013.

However, there are many open source projects that are widely used but not well-known, including cURL, ImageMagick, MyCLI, Homebrew, Apache Log4j, and OpenSSL. This article will take a closer look at these unsung heroes of the open source world. I do not want to give them a business model or financial advice in this article. This largely depends on the author's personal experience and values. I just want to raise more awareness about these open source projects.

What you need is log4j-core, what you downloaded is some kind of connector between log4j and JUL. Tbh I don't know what JUL is, but that's not important. You can get log4j-core on from the official website - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ or in maven repo. In case you're not using maven, I highly, highly recommend you using it for managing your dependencies.

> When it was first revealed in early December 2021, the Log4Shell bug was described as one of the most severe security vulnerabilities ever.

> The Apache Software Foundation, which maintains the open-source tool, quickly released a patch...

Apache horribly mismanaged this and did not release a patch until it was already widely known and being exploited in the wild. They also messed up and had to release several subsequent patches to actually fix the vulnerability.

Remember: this vulnerability was disclosed to them in November.

Think back to the Log4J event, were you affected? (https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2)
