A quick video summary of what’s new in this release:

Trash Feature

Use the trash feature to recover your deleted content and restore. You can filter the Trash contents to find that one Issue that you need to restore. Then, add it back into your project with a single click.

Multi-add Nodes

No more adding one Node at a time. Now you can use the new “Add multiple” option when you’re creating Nodes. Just paste in a list of Nodes to create all of them at the same time.

Issue template from Report Template Properties

You’re already using the Report Template Properties for automatic validation, right? We’ve extended the Issue fields even further to help make your life easier. First, define the Issue fields in your Report Template Properties:

Then, when you manually create an Issue, you’ll notice a new option in the dropdown. Select Default for template and Dradis will automatically pull in the Issue fields from your Report Template Properties to create your Issue template.

If you specified values for your text field, they’ll even appear in a list so that you can be sure that your Issue has the fields and values that your report template is looking for.

This month we’re pleased to bring you Dradis Pro v2.4 with some long-requested improvements.

The highlights of Dradis Pro v2.4

• Project-wide search (see below)
• UI improvements (see below)
  • I18n support for tags (thanks @kulisu)
  • Validate on save
  • Optimistic locking
  • Evidence multi-add
• Copying of Report Template Properties
• Word reports
  • Better file extension handling in Windows
• Minor bug fixing.

A quick video summary of what’s new in this release:

Project search

It is now possible to perform a project-wide full-text search against Evidence, Issues, Nodes and Notes:

UI improvements

Dradis is used by over 270 teams in 33 countries around the world. When people are using your platform to edit and generate content in languages as varied as Simplified Chinese, Slovenian or Turkish, it becomes very easy to spot and squash internationalisation and character encoding bugs.

With this release we’ve made sure that Tags fully support names encoded in UTF-8:

Evidence multi-add

It is not uncommon to need to link the same Issue to a number of hosts in your project. We’ve redesigned the UI to make this task a lot simpler:

• Select the Evidence template you need (or start with a blank slate).
• Tick off the relevant items from the Existing Hosts list.
• If needed, paste list of new IP addresses that will be added to the project and also associated with your Issues.

Validate on save

Teams working with Dradis normally need to use a number of different report templates (e.g. one for vulnerability assessments and one for social engineering). To make it easy for users to remember what information they need to provide on each template we’re now validating the contents supplied by the user against the individual template requirements so we can present a warning if the content doesn’t match the template’s expectations:

Optimistic locking

Have you ever been in a situation where just after updating an Issue or Note, you find out that one of your team mates was also editing that feature? From now on, Dradis will warn you when someone else has been modifying the content you were busy with, so you have the peace of mind to know you’re always working on the latest version of the content:

Two short months after the release of Dradis Pro v2.1 in February we’re pleased to bring you Dradis Pro v2.2 which is focused around connectivity and performance.

The highlights of Dradis Pro v2.2

• Full REST/JSON API coverage (documentation)
• Performance improvements: Rails 4.2, Ruby 2.2, memory monitoring.
• Fix bug in Activity Feed of project templates.
• Add-on enhancements:
  • CSV: export evidence data, fix CLI integration
  • HTML: fix CLI integration
• Bugs fixed: #204, #319

The REST API

Through the new HTTP JSON APPI you can securely access all of the application entities including:

• Clients
• Projects
• Issues
• Nodes / Evidence and Notes

Perform CRUD operations on all application objects through an easy-to-use JSON interface.

Use your favorite language to interact with the data contained in your Dradis environment.

Performance boost: faster, more responsive interface

Dradis Pro v2.2 also comes with a new version of the Rails framework and a modern version of Ruby. Both of these upgrades should have a significant impact in the overall performance and snappiness of the app and also bring some interesting security features out of the box. Strong parameters and DB performance come to mind on the Rails front and garbage collection (GC) of symbols on the Ruby front are some of the notable changes.

For the nitty gritty details please see the Rails 4.2 release notes and the Ruby 2.2 announcements.

Dradis v2.0 video summary

The most juicy features in a 1m32s video:

The Activity Feed

The new Activity Feed is displayed on every view of the project. It lets you see who has been working on what (and when).

In the Project Summary page, the feed looks like this:

The project activity stream.

There is an Activity Feed for issues, evidence, notes and nodes, so nothing will slip through the cracks.

Versioned content

In addition to knowing who did what and when, we’ve taken it one step further: it is now possible to view and compare the changes that were introduced in any piece of content during the lifetime of the project:

The Activity Feed view from the Project Summary page.

Report template properties and pre-export validator

Finally a handy feature on the reporting front. Since Dradis doesn’t force you to change the way you write your report, we don’t make any assumptions about how you want to work (trivia fact: Dradis has been used by over 200 teams in 32 countries and dozens of languages). As a result some times there is a small discrepancy between the content in your Dradis project and what your report template is expecting.

For example, say you use High, Medium and Low for risk rating. Maybe in one of the issues somebody made a typo and used Hihg instead of the appropriate spelling. Or say that your template is expecting you to define properties for Project name and Client point of contact but your forgot? Fear not, the new pre-export validator is here to help!

The pre-export validator in action.

So far we’ve got the following checks, but we’re already working in the next batch:

• Document Properties validator
• Issue fields and values validator
• Node labels

Today we’re happy to announce a new release of Dradis Professional Edition: Dradis Pro v1.12. Dradis is a collaboration and automated reporting tool for information security teams.

The highlights:

• New Accunetix and NTOSpider connectors
• Updated Burp and OpenVAS connectors
• Business Intelligence add-on (see below)
• Rules Engine add-on (see below)
• Reporting engine enhancements:
  • Pre-export validator
  • Native support for .docx and .docm
  • IssueCounter control
  • Concurrency enhancements
• Bugs fixed and feature requests: #128, #131, #141, #145, #152, #184, #189, #197, #201, #205, #207, #212, #216, #232, #238, #239, #254

Rules Engine add-on

Define rules that kick in when you upload the output of a scanner. Akin to your email client processing rules, the Rules Engine allows you, among other actions, to:

• Tag findings based on their fields (e.g. tag as Critical if CVSSv2 is > 9)
• Merge several findings into a single one (e.g. group all those pesky “missing patches” entries under a single finding)
• Replace the default description with your own. That’s right, every time Burp finds XSS, you will get a finding with your team’s custom Description / Recommendation for this vulnerability class.

Define the rules that will kick in when you upload the output of a scanner.

Sample rule: de-duplicate findings.

Sample rule: use your own descriptions.

Business Intelligence add-on

Most likely you’re running 100s of projects each year. The Business Intelligence add-on helps you make sense of the wealth of information that is at your fingertips but that most likely you haven’t been tracking. These are some of the questions you will be able to start answering:

• What do you know about the types of projects you’re running (what percentage is webapps vs infrastructure)?
• What types of clients are you serving? In what industry?
• How are the most profitable client types?
• What percentage of your projects is under-scoped or over-scoped?
• …

The Business Intelligence dashboard. Define custom properties for Clients and Projects to track business metrics.

New admin layout

Yes, we finally have a layout like it’s 2015 (well maybe 2013), but a great improvement over our bare-bones previous one. Here are just a couple of quick examples:
