Dalton 3.0.0 released

Dalton 3.0.0 has been released – https://github.com/secureworks/dalton

Dalton is a system that allows a user to quickly and easily run network 
packet captures (“pcaps”) against an intrusion detection system (“IDS”) 
sensor of his or her choice (e.g. Snort, Suricata) using defined 
rulesets and/or bespoke rules. It also includes a wizard-like web 
interface for Flowsynth (https://github.com/secureworks/flowsynth) to 
facilitate custom pcap creation.

This release contains a number of tweaks and back-end updates. Some 
notable changes:

  * Move to Python 3 from Python 2.
  * Better Suricata EVE log support in UI now that unified2 is no longer
    supported with Suricata v6; can format/highlight, view in “dark
    mode”, and download directly from the UI.
  * Support for running jobs using Suricata socket control and enabled
    it by default. Now Suricata doesn’t have to restart (load config,
    rules, etc.) between jobs if the config and rules stay the same.
  * Ability to easily enable SSL/TLS on the Controller.
  * Additions, updates, and fixes to the API to reduce complexity and
    make it work as expected.
  * Can now submit multiple pcaps (or an archive with multiple pcaps)
    and have them processed as individual jobs.
  * Display the number of alerts for finished jobs on the Queue page.
  * Ubuntu docker containers now use 18.04.
  * Use more recent versions of libraries, e.g. flask, jquery, etc.
  * Minor UI reorganization. Variables are no longer bifurcated from the
    rest of the config.
  * Dalton agent now has configurable “config” parameter that it can
    submit to tell controller which config to use.
  * Updated documentation to reflect current reality.
  * Sundry other bug fixes and enhancements.

I hope you find it useful.
