What is Sagan?
- --------------
Sagan Main Site: http://sagan.quadrantsec.com
Sagan is an open source (GNU/GPLv2) high performance, real-time log
analysis & correlation engine. It is written in C and uses a
multi-threaded architecture to deliver high performance log & event
analysis. The Sagan structure and Sagan rules work similarly to the
Sourcefire ?Snort? IDS engine. This was intentionally done to maintain
compatibility with rule management software
(oinkmaster/pulledpork/etc) and allows Sagan to correlate log events
with your Snort IDS/IPS system. Since Sagan can write to Snort IDS/IPS
databases via unified2/barnyard2 or direct SQL access, it is
compatible with all Snort ?consoles?. For example, Sagan is compatible
with Snorby [http://www.snorby.org], Sguil
[http://sguil.sourceforge.net] and the Prelude IDS framework! For
more information, please visit the Sagan web site:
http://sagan.quadrantsec.com.
What's new in Sagan?
- --------------------
- - Native Snortsam [http://www.snortsam.net] support. Snortsam is a
firewall blocking agent for Snort. Sagan can now leverage Snortsam to
block attacks based on log analysis and normalization. Snortsam
currently supports Checkpoint Firewall-1, Cisco PIX/ASA, Cisco
routers, Juniper/Netscreen, ipf/ipfw2 (FreeBSD), pf (OpenBSD),
ipchains/iptables/ebtables (Linux), Watchguard, 8signs (Windows), and
MS ISA Server (Windows).
- - New ?after? rule option ? For example, ?alert me after X number of
events?. This works great with thresholding. For example, ?Alert me
after X number events, but threshold by the source address when 10
events are reached?.
- - New DNS cache system ? Ideally, you will never need this feature but
in some environments it can't be avoided.
- - Several bug fixes/code clean up (SQL direct write improved, core
thread handling changed, etc)
What's in the future for Sagan?
- -------------------------------
- - New pre-processors for log analysis for better anomaly detection.
- - Better documentation.
- - New output plug-ins.
Where is an online demo?
- -----------------------
For an online demo of Sagan and Snorby in action, please go to:
http://demo.snorby.org
Username: de...@snorby.org
Password: snorby
You'll notice the ?Sagan? sensor online and reporting log data.
Questions/Comments:
- ------------------
General questions about Sagan should be directed to the Sagan mailing
list. This can be found at
http://groups.google.com/group/sagan-users. You can also ask question
on the Sagan IRC channel (irc.freenode.net #sagan). Author specific
questions should be directed to Champ Clark III (ccl...@quadrantsec.com).
Thank you!

Hi,
The tarball for the 0.2.1 release contains unwanted files like the .git
directory and stuff generated by the configure script. It may be a
good idea not to generate a new (clean) tarball ;)
Cheers,
Pierre

Thank you Pierre,
I need to sit down an make a "check off" list of what needs to be done
when a new release comes out. I obviously forgot to do that! I'll
make a new release/tarball today that'll have that stuff removed.
Thank you for noticing and letting me know!

Thank again Pierre,
I've cleaned it up and re-packaged it as "sagan-0.2.1-r1.tar.gz"
(linked to sagan-current.tar.gz). Cleared out the .git and autoconf
mess.
Let me know if you see any other issues.
