We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: "NST 36 SVN:13232". This release is based on Fedora 36 using Linux Kernel: "kernel-5.18.10-200.fc36.x86_64". This release brings the NST distribution on par with Fedora 36.
This is mostly a maintenance release with improved NST WUI functionality. Below is a summary of the feature improvements included in this release:
- Access to the Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner (OpenVAS) and Greenbone Vulnerability Management (Greenbone GVM) has been refactored to run as a podman container providing the full-featured vulnerability scanner. See the graphic below: NST WUI page for the OpenVAS / GVM scanner.
- Added a Round Trip Time (RTT) column to the NST WUI ARP Scan application. In addition, most options are now supported and better documentation has been provided. An article on NST WUI ARP Scan usage can be found here.
- Now supporting underscore scoped DNS Node Leaf Attribute Names in the NST WUI dig application (e.g., _spf.google.com).
- Added a NIC selection control to the embedded IPv4, IPv6 and Host Name widget.
- The legacy NST WUI sidebar navigation menu has been retired.
- As always, the networking and security applications included have been updated to their latest version which can be found in the manifest.
- For more details related to the code changes for this release, refer to the "Change Log" page or review the change log for an individual RPM package.
