Sguil 0.6.0 Released

Today Bamm Visscher released Sguil 0.6.0. I am still working on an updated Sguil Installation Guide for Sguil 0.6.0 on FreeBSD 6.0. I am working on a VM that is a self-contained Sguil installation suitable for running as a demo in VMware Player. Perhaps while I am teaching at USENIX LISA next week I will have a chance to finish it.

Speaking of VMs, VMware Workstation 5.5 was released today too.

I am sceptical to update. As soon as I do, he will release 0.7.0... but otherwise this is good news

This upgrade might be a tough one for us so we'll need to take it slow. Quite a while ago we ran into serious limitations with the sguildb sizes so we implemented our own MERGE table scheme within Mysql to solve it. We now have several sguildb's running very smoothly with each in size from 10Gb up to 60Gb in size. Now that Sguil 0.6.0 implements MERGE tables we'll need to be very careful that the upgrade won't break our scheme. I'm hopeful that we can simply ignore Sguil's implementation of MERGE tables so we can keep our own.

My bugfix for RC4 (and the 0.6.0 release) caused more problems then it fixed. I recommend people use RC3 until I can get a 0.6.1 out. Sorry about that all. John, this gives you an excuse to postpone your upgrade (like you need one).

Zeek in Action Videos

Image
This is a quick note to point blog readers to my Zeek in Action YouTube video series for the Zeek network security monitoring project .  Each video addresses a topic that I think might be of interest to people trying to understand their network using Zeek and adjacent tools and approaches, like Suricata, Wireshark, and so on.  I am especially pleased with Video 6 on monitoring wireless networks . It took me several weeks to research material for this video. I had to buy new hardware and experiment with a Linux distro that I had not used before -- Parrot .  Please like and subscribe, and let me know if there is a topic you think might make a good video.

MITRE ATT&CK Tactics Are Not Tactics

Just what are "tactics"? Introduction MITRE ATT&CK  is a great resource, but something about it has bothered me since I first heard about it several years ago. It's a minor point, but I wanted to document it in case it confuses anyone else. The MITRE ATT&CK Design and Philosophy document from March 2020 says the following: At a high-level, ATT&CK is a behavioral model that consists of the following core components: • Tactics, denoting short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack; • Techniques, describing the means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals; • Sub-techniques, describing more specific means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals at a lower level than techniques; and • Documented adversary usage of techniques, their procedures, and other metadata. My concern is with MITRE's definition of "tactics" as "short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack," which is oddly recursive. The key word in the tacti
