OpenDLP v0.1 released
OpenDLP is a free and open source, agent-based, centrally-managed, massively distributable data loss prevention tool released under the GPL. Given appropriate Windows domain credentials, OpenDLP can simultaneously identify sensitive data at rest on hundreds or thousands of Microsoft Windows systems from a centralized web application.
OpenDLP has two components: a web application and an agent.
Web Application
- Automatically deploy and start agents over Netbios
- When done, automatically stop, uninstall, and delete agents over Netbios
- Pause, resume, and forcefully uninstall agents in an entire scan or on individual systems
- Concurrently and securely receive results from hundreds or thousands of deployed agents over two-way-trusted SSL connection
- Create Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCREs) for finding sensitive data at rest
- Create reusable profiles for scans that include whitelisting or blacklisting directories and file extensions
- Review findings and identify false positives
- Export results as XML
- Written in Perl with MySQL backend
Agent
- Runs on Windows 2000 and later systems
- Written in C with no .NET Framework requirements
- Runs as a Windows Service at low priority so users do not see or feel it
- Resumes automatically upon system reboot with no user interaction
- Securely transmit results to web application at user-defined intervals over two-way-trusted SSL connection
- Uses PCREs to identify sensitive data inside files
- Performs additional checks on potential credit card numbers to reduce false positives
