At BitNinja, we're committed to enhancing our security solutions for optimal server protection. The 3.11.5 release brings notable updates, focusing on malware detection improvements and file patching enhancements. These updates assist in streamlining server operations and increase overall security reliability.
BitNinja 3.11.5
Malware Detection:
Introduced a new CronDetector to identify miner scripts, enhancing the overall efficacy of our malware detection system. This addition allows for quicker detection of potentially harmful scripts, thereby strengthening server security.
We also fixed issues with immutable or append-only malware files that couldn’t be deleted; attributes are now removed before any deletion attempts. This ensures a more thorough cleaning process for a safer environment.
Furthermore, we resolved problems with legacy status files that were inaccurately processed, ensuring these files are now ignored during scans. This enhances scanning accuracy and decreases the chance of errors.
File Patcher:
Improved file searching capabilities with better load efficiency, allowing for a more streamlined and effective patching process. This update significantly reduces the time it takes to manage files, thus improving overall server performance.
Site Protection:
We fixed an issue with the cPanel plugin that occasionally failed to function correctly. This ensures that site protection features work seamlessly under cPanel environments, providing reliable protection for users' websites.
IP Filter:
The release also includes a fix for the firewallValueDataProvider, which was not collecting metrics properly. Addressing this issue improves the accuracy of reported metrics, aiding in more effective traffic and security management.
Proxy Filter:
Enhanced error handling when creating IP sets for the trusted proxy list. A warning will now be logged if the restore process fails, allowing administrators to address issues promptly.
