Sandfly 1.3 Update

A new version of Sandfly has been released. Version 1.3 has the following changes:

• Container OS was switched from Alpine to Ubuntu Minimal for better compatibility and more up to date packages.
• TLS 1.1 has been disabled across the board. Only TLS 1.2 and 1.3 will be supported going forward which will cover all modern browsers.
• Sandflies renamed to be more consistent and descriptive.
• Sandfly Process Persistence Cron Malicious and Sandfly Process Persistence At Job Malicious sandflies will also flag executable files inside these directories along with the standard malware persistence checks.
• New sandflies to search for running processes out of unusual system directories like /lost+found or /boot.
• Expanded checks for legacy rootkits from the leaked NSA source code repositories.
• New sandfly checks for SUID/SGID system shells.
• Expanded checks for SUID/SGID system editors which can be left behind for future escalation attacks by intruders.
• Performance and reliability fixes.
• We are adding many new sandflies now to detect an ever increasing list of threats against Linux. If you have any questions about the update, please contact us.
