    I just wanted to tell you about Maltrail (https://github.com/stamparm/maltrail/).
  • Is Maltrait worth the trouble?
    1 project | /r/OPNsenseFirewall | 22 Dec 2022
    Yes, MT had OOM on *BSD, because of python-pcapy module, which is currently unmaintained. So, the fork was done and python-pcapy-ng becomes actual module for MT, which fixed OOM and now MT works OK for *BSD-line: [1] https://github.com/stamparm/maltrail/issues/19056 [2] https://github.com/stamparm/maltrail/issues/16710 [3] py-pcapy-ng on Fresh Ports: https://www.freshports.org/net/py-pcapy-ng/ Also /requirement.txt file was modified for MT to avoid installing python-pcapy instead of python-pcapy-ng: [4] https://github.com/stamparm/maltrail/commit/2aa2da5ba5c332ddd106020290926d1fdfd0f8b2 Despite on all it, some mass-medias keep saying that python-pcapy is required for MT to work. No, just python-pcapy-ng. "Given everything is now encrypted, does anyone know if it is still effective?" <-- IDS (MT is the IDS itself) is passive detection, it doesn't provide the prevention actions. MT can use blocking mechanism, they are describes for Linux: https://github.com/stamparm/maltrail/wiki/Miscellaneous#1-setting-up-maltrail-as-an-intrusion-prevention-system-ips . If some can describe mechanism for MT on *BSD-line, that would be nice. Anyway would be thankful, if you provide details on missing ransomware. Perhaps, it is needed to update network IoCs, if ransomware comprometation was via network. Thank you! "Are the signatures reasonably up to date?" <-- trying to be up-to-dated: https://github.com/stamparm/maltrail/commits/master

  • Having Problems Using Wire? That's Because Wire Domains Are Ending Up In NextDNS Threat Intelligence Blocklists!

    The Threat Intelligence Feeds have multiple upstream sources, see https://github.com/nextdns/metadata/blob/master/security/threat-intelligence-feeds.json. In this case, Maltrail Blacklist seems to have included this domain. You can report this directly to that maintainer here: https://github.com/stamparm/maltrail/issues
