🥳 Mondoo 11.9 is out! This release includes Windows filesystem scanning, expanded IaC reporting, and more!​

Get this release: Installation Docs | Package Downloads | Docker Container

🎉 NEW FEATURES​

Windows filesystem scanning​

Need to inspect a Windows system, but don't have access to install cnquery on the system? Now you can attach the drive, or a snapshot of the drive, to another Windows system and run cnquery shell complete with access to all of Mondoo's Windows MQL resources.

Run cnquery shell against a drive by serial number:

./cnquery.exe shell device --serial-number 123455

Run cnquery shell against a specific LUN:

./cnquery.exe shell device --lun 2

🧹 IMPROVEMENTS​

Infrastructure as code inventory group​

Find Mondoo scanned Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files quickly with a new Infrastructure as Code asset group in the Mondoo Console inventory page:

IaC asset group

Improved risk factor display​

We improved the risk assessment view on CVE and advisory pages so you can better understand which risks apply to assets and which don't.

Risk Factors

Expanded Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) policy support​

The Mondoo Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) policy now detects systems running Windows Defender with up-to-date definition files.

Kubernetes service discovery​

Expand visibility into your Kubernetes cluster with discovery of Kubernetes services as assets in the Mondoo Console.

Find files by permission​

Use the expanded files.find MQL resource to find files containing specific permissions across entire filesystems or specific paths . Pass in standard UNIX octal permission values to find files containing those permissions. Note: This is not an exact match. Searching for '0001' returns all files with execute on other, even if they also have read and write on other.

cnquery> files.find(from: "/etc", type: "file", xdev: false, permissions: 0001)
files.find.list: [
  0: file path="/etc/periodic/daily/999.local" size=712 permissions.string="-rwxr-xr-x"
  1: file path="/etc/periodic/monthly/999.local" size=606 permissions.string="-rwxr-xr-x"
  2: file path="/etc/periodic/weekly/999.local" size=620 permissions.string="-rwxr-xr-x"
  3: file path="/etc/security/audit_warn" size=1326 permissions.string="-r-xr-xr-x"
