New Instaler beta: 1.2beta6
Sat, 02 May 2009

I'm happy to announce the availability of the next beta, AV Installer beta6. (md5: 21204ecf2949a1d9ac9838b3c694b72d.

Again, thanks a ton to everybody testing the betas and reporting bugs / improvements, with your help this is already the best release that's been published ever for OSSIM.

The betatesting process is reaching the point where we're going to freeze code and just fix bugs. OpenVAS is now fully integrated and running like a charm, the compliance framework runs out of te box for ISO27001 (install beta6, "apt-get install ossim-compliance" and go to reports->reporting server), many new directives have been added and old ones fixed. A quick warning: OpenVAS takes ages to start the first time, if it looks like it hangs during init don't worry, after maybe 5 or 10 minutes it will get through.

Next steps will be to ensure everything is working, get a new dashboard for PCI and ISO2700[12] compliance, integrate the SEM part (without signing) into the public server, put the new policy interface in place and double check distributed architecture scripts. After this release the final version, throw a party and get a couple of weeks off ;-)

I hope you enjoy this beta.

Hi DK, congratulation the beta are really awesome. I'm trying to install the ossim-compliance but the package in not in the servers, look:

#apt-get install ossim-compliance
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package ossim-compliance

I'm waiting for your response.

Rgds,

Hi,

I am just wondering is this only 64 bit kernel? Not an issue, just my test machine was 32 bit CPU that I was going to use for playing about with the beta.

I tried beta 5 though and I must say really nice. Nice work indeed!

Hi,

We are using OSSIM 1.0.6 in production, and it's really a great product.

We are also testing OSSIM 1.2 betas on a testing plateform. The OSSIM server is a 64 bit computer. Are there a 32 bit ossim-agent that we can install on 32 bit architecture for testing the 1.2 version of OSSIM ?

Thanks for your work !

Hi,

Thanks for your great work.

We running OSSIM 1.06 also in production but our hardware is very old, so we want to switch to newer and faster hardware supporting 64Bit. So is there plan when the final will be released?

Yup, we're aiming at July the 1st, 2009. Everybody is quite nervous around, we want this one to be perfect and we've got only two weeks left :-)

Hi DK, way to go!
OSSIM it's great.

Although, I have a problem:
#apt-get install ossim-compliance
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package ossim-compliance

All my apt sources.list seem fine, could it be possible that package it's not there?
Compliance graphs are not being showed in the main dashboard...

Regards

Thanks for your nice words :-)

Make sure you've got the following repo in your sources.list:

deb http://data.alienvault.com/debian_shared/ binary/

The newest ossim-compliance package is in there.

Good luck.
