Lastline Defender and Analyst Hosted Release Notes

Version 5.4

New features

  • Improved Java analysis
  • Improved analysis reports
  • Appliance metrics
  • Appliance list improvements
  • Portal performance improvements

Java analysis

The detection of malicious Java code has been improved supporting in-depth analysis of Java applets. Additional information about applets is displayed in the analysis report, including the names and hashes of individual files contained in an applet. See this report for an example of an improved Java analysis.

Analysis reports

The analysis report pages have been improved in several ways:

  • they now load faster;
  • when available, they offer the ability of seeing reports obtained by analyzing a sample in different analysis environments (e.g., in Windows XP and Windows 7);
  • they include the new annotation code (first used in events and incidents pages) to add comments to analysis reports.
  • URL analysis reports now include a description of the exploits that were identified

Appliance metrics

The Lastline portal now allows Lastline Enterprise users to see graphs of system metrics about sensors such as CPU and memory usage. The new metrics page can be seen here, and is linked from the appliances tab.

Appliances list improvements

Action notes are now displayed as an appliance is updated or some other action is in progress.

Portal performance improvements

Various improvements have been introduced in the performance of the web portal in general, and of the analysis report display in particular.
