Note: this is the last release containing the following features:

  • Artifact parsers. ArtifactCollector flow supports parsing collected files and output of executed commands. Its parsers are not properly maintained, are often outdated and fragile. We're going to convert selected parsers into standalone flows and remove the artifact parsing subsystem: the ArtifactCollector will always work as if "apply_parsers" arguments attribute is set to False. Afterwards the "apply_parsers" attribute will be deprecated completely. We will provide documentation on integrating GRR and ArtifactCollector with well-maintained parsing frameworks like Plaso.

  • Built-in cron jobs. Built-in cron jobs are primarily used for periodic hunts. We will provide documentation on how to easily replicate the current functionality using external scheduling systems (like Linux cron, for example).

    If your workflow depends on GRR built in cron jobs and you anticipate problems when migrating it to external schedulers, please reach out to us via email or GitHub.

  • GRR server Debian package. We will stop providing the GRR server Debian package as the main way of distributing GRR server and client binaries. Instead we will make GRR Docker image a preferred way for running GRR in a demo or production environment.

If your workflow depends on any of the above, please feel free reach out to us via grr-users Google Group or GitHub.

Added

  • Created a flow for collecting an identifier of the CrowdStrike agent.
  • Podman-based zero-setup development environment.
  • Added StatMultipleFiles and HashMultipleFiles flows to be used in UIv2.

Changed

  • Renamed AdminUI.new_hunt_wizard.default_output_plugin to AdminUI.new_hunt_wizard.default_output_plugins (note the "s" in the end). The new option accepts a comma-separated list of names.
  • Newly interrogated clients now pick up active hunts automatically.
  • Hunts workflow is now available in the new UI: creating hunts from a flow, duplicating existing hunts, monitoring hunt progress and inspecting results.

Removed

  • Fully removed deprecated use_tsk flag.
  • Removed deprecated plugin_args field from OutputPluginDescriptor.
  • Removed deprecated flows: FingerprintFile, KeepAlive, FingerprintFile, FindFiles, SendFile, Uninstall, UpdateClient, CollectEfiHashes, DumpEfiImage.
  • Deprecated GetFile flow in favor of MultiGetFile.
  • Made FileFinder an alias to ClientFileFinder, using ClientFileFinder by default everywhere. Legacy FileFinder is still available as LegacyFileFinder. Fixed several inconsistencies in ClientFileFinder client action. Same for RegistryFinder.
  • Removed deprecated client actions: EficheckCollectHashes, EficheckDumpImage, Uninstall, SendFile.
  • Removed "Checks" functionality.

API removed

  • Deprecated no-op "keep_client_alive" attribute in ApiCreateClientApprovalArgs.
  • Deprecated ListClientActionRequests API call (was no-op after Fleetspeak migration).
