Stamus Networks is proud to announce the availability of SELKS 1.0 RC1. This is the first release candidate of our live and installable ISO based on Debian implementing a ready to use Suricata IDS/IPS. More about SELKS you could read on our [Open Source page](https://www.stamus-networks.com/open-source/?hsLang=en#selks).

This release includes major overhaul and improvements:

- Introducing for the first time the new Stamus Networks package repositories developed especially for SELKS - Kibana, Scirius
- Update and upgrade all software and SELKS the Debian way (apt-get or aptitude)
- 9 ready to use out of the box IDS/IPS dashboards
- Over 150 fields to search,select,filter and easily analyze upon right out of the box
- Fully enabled logging
- Suricata 2.1beta1 (adding flow and alert payload logging to the NSM arsenal)
- Scirius 0.8  (latest release of our graphic Suricata ruleset manager)

### A better interface

SELKS 1.0 RC1 comes with preloaded dashboards and a modified version of Kibana:

 This allows interaction with Scirius, our open-source Suricata ruleset management interface:

### Easy upgrade

Stamus is dedicated to provide the latest releases of Suricata, htp and kernel level. That's why we provide generic Debian packaging for the newest Suricata IDS/IPS , htp releases and newest long-term kernel level version (3.14.18 at the time of this writing).

SELKS comes with a standard Debian Wheezy distribution with 3.2 kernel - if you would like to upgrade to the latest long-term supported kernel you can just do (for example kernel 3.14.18):

> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade  
>  apt-get install linux-headers-3.14.18-stamus linux-image-3.14.18-stamus

For everything else you can just do:

> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

As easy as that!
