1.8.0

This release has API version 2.4.0:

  • The referrer_policy_errors and referrer_policy_recommendations fields were added. These contain errors and/or recommendations regarding the Referrer-Policy test.
  • https_redirect can now also have “no_https” as status, for a web server that offers either no HTTPS or HTTPS with a very outdated, insecure TLS configuration, as in this case the redirect is not evaluated.

1.7.1

1.7

This release has API version 2.3.0:

  • The record_org_domain was added for DMARC (#489).
  • The securitytxt_errors and securitytxt_recommendations types were changed. They now contain error codes (and possibly context) rather than full sentences.
  • The content_security_policy_errors field was added with error codes for CSP.
  • An issue was fixed where the mx_nameservers field was not included in results (#882).

1.6.3

  • Fixed an issue in the HTTPS client code that caused DMARC records to not be detected, due to a missing public suffix list.

1.6.2

This release has API version 2.2.0, as there are no API changes.

1.6.1

This release has API version 2.2.0, a late update due to new fields added in 1.6.0.

1.6

This release has API version 2.1.0, which is incorrect as it does include new fields for security.txt. This was fixed in 1.6.1.

1.5.1

  • Fixes a tiny typo in the RPKI news content.

This release has API version 2.1.0, as there are no API changes.

1.5.0

New

  • RPKI support [(#613)]. For all IPs of all name servers, mail servers and web server, this check looks for the existence of an RPKI ROA, and whether all BGP routes covering these IPs are valid. As this is a new check, the total score does not yet include RPKI results.

Other changes

  • Fixed issues with the IPv4/IPv6 consistency test for large pages [(#665)]
  • Various dependencies updated [(#721)] [(#725)] [(#695)] [(#688)] [(#712)]
  • Internal documentation improvements [(#717)]
  • Small improvements in cache reset requests [(#724)]
  • Small improvements in various test explanations.
  • The privacy statement was updated to clarify the use of third party services.

This release has API version 2.1.0, as it includes new fields for RPKI.

1.4.0

Software update and development & documentation release.

Note: the docker image will not build at the moment, this is a work in progress and will be in 1.4.1.

New

  • Updated jQuery (also stops support for very old browsers) [(#565)]
  • Pinned all dependencies on specific versions with pip-tools.

Settings

  • Moved Django settings to an environment file, so it can be more easily configured in automated environments (containers)
  • Made a clear distinction between user confgured settings and 'standard app settings'
  • Add DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD to default config file [(#599)]
  • Increased the test duration 50%-100% for all tests on single mode, to deal with slow servers or servers that have a lot of MX records.
  • Made the rate limiting feature of starting new scans configurable in the settings (not via environment)

Migrations

Development & documentation

  • Added installation steps to makefile for easier installation of the virtual environment and custom python dependencies
  • Added Github action that checks for code linting and runs tests. More QA tools to come.

  • Added a partial admin web interface that is available during development, to more easily inspect the contents of the database
  • Added an ERD diagram image of the database to the documentation
  • Removed infinite wait on Unbound pipe, to reduce complexity in the connection leakage issue (see ahead)
  • Added example and usable configuration examples for Redis, workers, services, Apache etc
  • Added a logger with dictconfig, this allows run time logging of the application
  • Added (debug) log statements for further code inspection, especially on expiring tasks
  • Separate scanning code from UI code via a new django app "checks"
  • Added workaround / configs for Redis-backend-connection leak: #676 on single scan mode. Cron settings and some bash scripts that restart the scan services every 6 hours. This allows tens of thousands of scans per recycle.
  • Spread out tasks over more dedicated workers to be able to inspect and manage bottlenecks
  • Fixed Django-app bootstrapping, which prevented the app from loading correctly
  • Building and testing for Python 3.7 and 3.10 to transit to the new version
  • Added caching of static files in the apache config
