  1. Mail Security: White / Black list Regular Expressions (REGEX) Support

    Proper regexp support would be very useful, basically everywhere where it is applicable, but especially in mail black- and whitelists. For example, many mailing lists and newsletters use VERPs (ie. unique senders that make their lives much easier) which makes it impossible to add these to whitelists. Sometimes whole threads of these mails are falsely caught by the spam filter.

    • Networking: Add IGMP proxy

      Implement a simpe IGMP proxy so that IPTV at least from T-Home Entertain can be received. This is different from standard Multicast as it only to pass the asg and not dynamically communicate or register with other multicast servers

          • Configuration Best-Practices Auditor

            I have seen a lot of ASG systems out there, which have use a insecure or not (possible) optimal configuration in ASG. Some other manufacturers will bring up while configuration already a warning, when a setting may affect system security.

            It would be nice to have a possibility to start a basic system configuration checker, which will check the configuration against some "best practice" recommendations and generate a little audit report with found issues, a small explanation and a recommendation to make it better.

            Issues could be (to list some...)
            - inappropriate configured proxies with access from ANY networks
            -…

            • Web Security: Time Quotas for Internet access

              I have had many requests to have a policy in our Web Security section where it is possible to allocate a time quota for Internet Access. They do not want to limit when people have access to Facebook for example but how long they are allowed to visit these type of sites.

                  • Reporting: Link IPS, and Malware events to description

                    Idea:
                    Link IPS and Malware events in reports to a online database with a description of the event if available.

                    Reason:
                    It's always a lot of work to find out the reason of IPS events as "SHELLCODE x86 inc ecx NOOP" or to find a description of a Virus like "HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen"

                    Benefit:
                    It would ease administrators lives to easily find out, which behavior the security events triggered or what they even mean.

                      • Reporting: SNMP Trap for File-Scanning Oversize Files

                        I would like an SNMP trap and/or email sent when a user requests a file that is scanned by the anti-virus system, but is larger than the threshold.

                        This way I can gauge the size of the files that are being downloaded and also know if my threshold is too low.

                        My BlueCoat Proxy AV will send an email and SNMP trap such as:

                        Cause: Maximum file size exceeded (engine error code: 0x00000000)

                        File has been passed through unscanned.

                          Google offers a free API (http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/safebrowsing/) to check sites for known malware. It would be great if Astaro would add an option to block sites based on this database.

                          • Network Security: Automatically add hosts to IPS Performance Tuning

                            For example, a host entered in the 'Host list' on the 'Routing' tab of 'SMTP' should automatically be put into 'SMTP servers' on the 'Advanced' tab of IPS.

                            A host used in a 'DNS request route' should automatically go into the 'DNS servers' box.

                            On the 'Global' tab of IPS, don't allow an 'Interface (Network)' to be put into the 'Local networks' box if the interface is a DSL or modem type; at least warn that the admin should not put a public network into the box.

                            Add Remote Gateways to the IM/P2P skiplist.

                            Etc.

                                  • Mail Security: Blacklisted Sender Options

                                    Currently, any mails received from an e-mail address in the sender blacklist (under Mail Security / SMTP / Anti-Spam) are silently dropped.

                                    How about providing an option where you can choose to do the following:

                                    1) Silently drop / blackhole the email (current functionality)

                                    2) Quarantine the email so the end user can choose to release

                                    3) Bounce the email to the sender with a customisable message

                                    4) Redirect the email to another destination address.

                                    • Management: Display SSH key fingerprint in WebAdmin

                                      This is a (very) minor feature. It would be nice if the SSH fingerprint would be available somewhere in WebAdmin (preferably under the Management->System Settings->Shell Access tab). This way, if the WebAdmin certificate is already trusted, the fingerprint could be compared by the administrator to the one reported by the ssh client instead of just blindly accepting it (which is a security problem).
