New in Dradis Pro v3.10

Dradis Framework is a collaboration and reporting tool for information security teams to manage and deliver the results of security assessments, in less time and with less frustration than manual methods.

User on, User off

Users can be toggled between disabled and re-enabled. Disabled users cannot access the app, aren’t available to mention in comments, and will not receive notifications. Content from disabled users won’t be deleted and they will need to be re-enabled before modifying any permissions.

Bye for now, Bones

Word Report Export Tune-Up

Bunches of things happen under the hood in Dradis when you are kicked back waiting for the magic to happen to generate a Word report. Some of those inner workings got a tune-up to get Dradis in a better position for future improvements in this version. Imagine how excited we were when we saw some small performance gains as a byproduct of this refactor!

Fancy Output Logs

Export log files are not only fancier looking, but the updated formatting makes them much easier to review. Indents indicate nested items and coloured lines of text are a snap to scan to keep an eye out for any problems and when items finish successfully.

So Fancy!

Change Project Owner

“Change is inevitable” and now, you can change project owners in Dradis. Project owners can be updated in both the web app on the “People on the Project” and through a new API endpoint.

Spock is the project’s new owner

HackFu: Community Edition

We are excited to share that we are working with the team at chronyko to present the first-ever HackFu: Community Edition – Friday 29th January 2021 – 9am – 5.30pm GMT.

HackFu is an award-winning immersive learning event designed by chronyko for cybersecurity professionals. Set in a dystopian world in the late 21st Century, participants are tasked with supporting the next phase of humanity’s journey back from the brink.

Participants will each receive a Survival Pack in the post containing items essential to their mission. They will also be provided with access to exclusive pre-event activities to learn more about their mission and the world they will be entering.

The event will run from 09:00 to 17:30 GMT on the 29th January 2021 and will primarily be accessed via web conferencing software and a browser. However, other cybersecurity software and tools (eg a VPN client) will be required to access and complete the technical challenges.
