Download

We've got a download page, where you can find packages for your distribution, but you can of course just git clone this repo, or check the releases on github.

Examples

We're providing various example rules, that are looking like this:

# Harden the `chmod` function
sp.disable_function.function("chmod").param("mode").value_r("^[0-9]{2}[67]$").drop();

# Mitigate command injection in `system`
sp.disable_function.function("system").param("command").value_r("[$|;&`\\n]").drop();

Upon violation of a rule, you should see lines like this in your logs:

[snuffleupagus][0.0.0.0][disabled_function][drop] The execution has been aborted in /var/www/index.php:2, because the return value (0) of the function 'strpos' matched a rule.

Documentation

We've got a comprehensive website with all the documentation that you could possibly wish for. You can of course build it yourself.
