Merge pull request #2304 from atomicturtle/fix/1611-local-ip-bind Bind remoted to a set <local_ip> in that address family only (#1611)
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
Document that the bind ipv6 flag applies to any non-numeric address. The previous comment said the flag was used only when _ip was unset; getaddrinfo also takes that path for hostnames.
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
Harden bind cleanup and pin the 1611 regression to one port. Review found leftover sockets on bind failure, a possible fds overflow, and a wildcard test that could send IPv4 and IPv6 to different ephemeral ports.
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
Stop remoted from mapping a v4 local_ip onto a dual-stack IPv6 socket. A set local_ip binds only that address; ipv6 yes/no applies only when local_ip is omitted.
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2303 from atomicturtle/fix/2065-sender-counter Stop remoted from writing the sender counter into agent 0 rids on key…
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
Harden sender-counter reload against races flagged in review. Keep outbound counters across a bad sender file parse, re-resolve agent IDs after dropping the key lock, and serialize the public store path so close/reload cannot write a closed FILE*.
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
Stop remoted from writing the sender counter into agent 0 rids on key reload. Keep the outbound counter on the keystore instead of keyentries[keysize], and replace the sleep(1) FreeKeys drain with an rwlock so a reload cannot close agent files while send still holds them.
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2302 from atomicturtle/feature/1907-json-syslog Forward analysisd JSON alerts over syslog
Scott R. Shinn(26 Aug 26)
copilot fixes Signed-off-by: Scott R. Shinn <[email protected]>
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Leave alerts rotation to monitord and keep jsonout on when undeclared. Logrotate must not touch /var/ossec/logs/alerts. New json-queue files use the Atomicorp copyright, and a regression covers jsonout_output defaulting on unless the XML tag sets no.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Forward analysisd JSON alerts over syslog so agent_name is a first-class field. JSON syslog_output tails alerts.json (on by default) instead of rebuilding a compact object from alerts.log. Default, CEF, and Splunk formats are unchanged.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2300 from atomicturtle/fix/2106-dovecot-lip-trailing-comma Stop Dovecot lip= from capturing a trailing comma as dstip.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Stop Dovecot lip= from capturing a trailing comma as dstip. Login and disconnect logs that end at lip=addr, were stuffing the comma into dstip; exclude comma from the IP capture and make mpid optional on success so both formats still match.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2259 from atomicturtle/feature/1828-libmaxminddb-geoip Replace EOL GeoIP Legacy with libmaxminddb for analysisd.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2261 from atomicturtle/fix/2107-cdb-mmap-map-failed Check cdb mmap failure with MAP_FAILED.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Merge upstream/main into fix/2107-cdb-mmap-map-failed. Keep the frozen 4.3.0 changelog; record the CDB mmap fix under 4.4.0.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2285 from atomicturtle/feature/windows-fim-acl Add opt-in Windows FIM **`check_acl`** / `CHECK_ACL` so agents can detect NTFS DACL/ACE changes and raise integrity alerts with human-readable permission detail.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Bump version to 4.3.0 and add llms.txt for release discovery. Keep multi-platform CI on v4.2.0 and enable the upcoming v4.3.0 maintenance branch; packaging scripts and spec follow the same bump.
Scott R. Shinn(25 Aug 26)
Enrich GeoIP at decode time for plugin-assigned IPs. Plugin decoders skip SrcIP_FP/DstIP_FP, so MMDB fields were missing from rule matching; skip already-filled lookups after the XML field path.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2297 from atomicturtle/chore/changelog-4.3.0-tone Tone down 4.3.0 release notes to factual feature descriptions.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Tone down 4.3.0 release notes to factual feature descriptions. Keep the three major capabilities with clear operational detail, without marketing phrasing.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2296 from atomicturtle/chore/changelog-4.3.0 Chore/changelog 4.3.0
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Update 4.3.0 release maintainers list.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Rewrite 4.3.0 release notes around operator-exciting wins. Lead with FIM maintenance mode, then secure syslog shipping and ModSecurity visibility, in plain ops language.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Focus 4.3.0 release notes on the three major features. Expand syslog_output TCP/TLS and FIM maintenance mode details; keep ModSecurity as the third headline and drop lesser enhancements.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Narrow 4.3.0 release notes to the major feature highlights. Keep the detailed General/Bug Fixes lists for attribution; lead with only the headline capabilities operators will notice.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Expand 4.3.0 release notes with per-feature bullets. Call out each user-facing feature in the Release Notes section while keeping the detailed General/Bug Fixes attribution lists intact.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Update 4.3.0 CHANGELOG for merged post-4.2.0 work. Replace the placeholder release notes and add missing entries for syscheck MQ/restart frequency, FIM maintenance mode, decoder/rule fixes, and related operability changes already on main.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Merge pull request #2295 from atomicturtle/fix/syscheck-mq-restart-frequency Fix syscheck queue/restart races and honor FIM frequency under realtime.
Scott R. Shinn(12 Aug 26)
Use C11 atomics for analysisd pipeline shutdown and queue fd. sig_atomic_t only covers signal handlers; concurrent pthread access to analysisd_shutting_down and pipeline_m_queue needs _Atomic stores/loads.

More Intrusion Detection
An 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system.
picosnitch helps protect your security and privacy by "snitching" on anything that connects to the internet, letting you know when, how much data was transferred, and to where. It uses BPF to monitor network traffic per application, and per parent to cover those that just call others. It also hashes every executable, and will complain if some mischievous program is giving it trouble.
SNARE (System iNtrusion Analysis and Reporting Environment) is a series of log collection agents that facilitate centralized analysis of audit log data. Logs from the OS are collected and audited. Full remote access, through a web interface easy to use manually, or by an automated process.
Not Open SourceZeek (formally Bro) Passively monitors network traffic and looks for suspicious activity.
