Penetrator 24.0 Firmware release

Penetrator 24.0–January 2014

- New Scan - Improvements A few improvements have been made to the Create New Scan, Create Scan Template and Create Schedule Scan functions.

When a user has a predefined number of IPs to scan, it is possible to add them at once with the new Add all button.

When a number of IPs have been added to the scan, it is possible to change their profiles at once with the new dropdown menu.

A new button has been added to allow import multiple IPs from an external CSV file. This button is normally hidden and can be displayed clicking on the link Import IP List from CSV file.



- Scan Notification The Scan Notification has been improved by allowing to attach a report to the mail sent at the end of a scan, if vulnerabilities have been found. The report is the standard

Vulnerability Scan Report without solutions, which is also available through the web interface at the end of the scan. Moreover, it is possible to enter multiple recipients, separated by comma, who will

receive the same mail. It is also possible to change the sender’s email address. This function is available through the new Scan Notification Sender submenu in the System menu. When you change the default sender’s email address, the notification mail will arrive as sent from that address. The subject and the body of the notification mail have been improved as well, using the html format.

- Offline Helpers To help users in the process of getting online with the Penetrator, a variety of helpers have been created. The first one is a new Popup that appears at the top-right side of the page, to explain what is possible to do when the Penetrator is not online. The same information is also available dragging the mouse over the Internet: Offline text, as shown below.



Another Popup will appear with the link to a page with some videos on how to get online. The same page can be reached clicking on the icon of a little camera that appears next to the Offline text when the unit is offline.

Videos are stored locally on the Penetrator and can be viewed with any web browser with the Flash plugin installed.



- New Firmware Popup A new popup will appear when a new firmware is available. It comes in addition to the text that you can usually see in the System Messages area. This popup allows to install the new firmware immediately or to plan the installation at the next Database Update, which is typically once a day, at Midnight. If you are not interested in installing or planning the firmware update, just click on No, Thank You and the popup will close. If you click on another part of the video, the popup will appear again next time you load a page.

- And…
