Stamus Networks is proud to announce the availability of version 1.0-beta1 of Scirius, our web interface for Suricata ruleset management. This new release is a huge step toward 1.0 release as it contains a lot of new features and improvements. You can download it from Github download page.

The most visible update is the new design of the interface. It has been been completely changed thanks to Bootstrap CSS framework.

But the first change for user is that authentication and user management is now by default. Scirius is now multi user and features three level of permissions from read-only to superuser.

Another new feature is the display of graphics in some page. They are using Elasticsearch data. For example, the next screenshot is showing detail of a rule. A graph has been added to show the activity for that specific rules:

The interface is now more responsive as asynchronous requests are used to interact with Elasticsearch. This guarantee a responsive interface even if your Elasticsearch is slow.

SELKS user can upgrade to Scirius 1.0-beta1 via apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. Please note that the default user/password on SELKS is selks-user/selks-user. Do not forget to change it after first login.
