Capra v1.0 beta released
By Joost Bakker - 28-03-09 18:45 (CET)
With Capra v1.0 beta you can import *.xml files produced by the wlconvert tool from Watchguard.
If you have configured your v10 Watchguard database log server to make backups of your database you will have a backup directory full of datetime.zip files. If you unzip one of these zip files in to a temporary directory you can convert the *.txt files into a *.xml file that can be imported by Capra. You can convert the text files with the Watchguard tool wlconvert.exe.

Open a command prompt.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\WatchGuard\wsm10.2\wlcollector\bin\
Run wlconvert.exe -d PATH_TO_TEMP_DIR_WITH_TXT_FILES -f FIREBOXSERIALNUMBER_DATETIME (wlconvert.exe -d c:\temp -f xxxxxxxxxxxxx_20081221030000)
This will create a FIREBOXSERIALNUMBER_DATETIME.xml file that can be imported by Capra.

Update on 'Capra v0.8.1 and Fireware v10'
By Joost Bakker - 24-12-08 17:45 (CET)
Due to changes in the logging of IPS messages made by Watchguard some v10 *.xml files will not import. You will get the following error while importing:
There was a error while doing a query to the database.
This will be fixed in a new version of Capra. A workaround would be to disable the following reports on the preferences page (Notify, DNS Proxy, HTTP Proxy, SMTP Proxy) but this will leave you with almost no reports at all.
 
Capra v0.8.1 and Fireware v10
By Joost Bakker - 21-12-08 13:45
I just found out that it is possible to use Capra with fireware v10.
If you have configured your Watchguard log server to make backups of your database you will have a backup directory full of datetime.zip files. If you unzip one of these zip files in to a temporary directory you can convert the *.txt files into a *.xml file that can be imported by Capra. You can convert the text files with the Watchguard tool wlconvert.exe.

Open a command prompt.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\WatchGuard\wsm10.2\wlcollector\bin\
Run wlconvert.exe -d PATH_TO_TEMP_DIR_WITH_TXT_FILES -f FIREBOXSERIALNUMBER_DATETIME (wlconvert.exe -d c:\temp -f xxxxxxxxxxxxx_20081221030000)
This will create a FIREBOXSERIALNUMBER_DATETIME.xml file.
Open this *.xml file with a text editor and add <WGLog source="Fireware"> as the first line and add </WGLog> as the last line.
Save the file and import it with Capra.
* not needed any more if you use Capra v1.0 beta

This v10 xml file will have all the = characters in the argument of a URI replaced with a : (Don't know why Watchguard did this).
Because of this 'bug' the 'Search Engine reports' does not work and the Go button might not work.

* fixed in Capra v1.0 beta
In the next month I'm planning to make a Capra version that will be able to import these logfiles perfectly.

Future of Capra (2)
By Joost Bakker - 24-07-08 18:53
Capra v0.8.1 is nearing completion. It still needs testing, but you can expect a release in the near future (2 to 4 weeks).

I also finally upgraded my fireboxes to v10 (v10.2.1). This install included the switch to the new v10 log server. After the release of Capra v0.8.1 I will start the development of a v10 compatible version of Capra (I am very eager to start).
 
Future of Capra
By Joost Bakker - 11-06-08 13:13
Development of Capra is currently on hold. I just came home from a 2 month trip trough China, South Korea and Japan and the next month I'm busy with some other programming work.

My planning is to still release Capra v0.8.1. Capra v0.8.1 will be the final version of Capra for Firewire 9 log files and will have some bug fixes, an updated 'Maxmind GeoLite IP Country database' and full MYSQL 5 support.

Also in my planning is to make a Capra version with support for Fireware 10. I hope to make a Capra version that can use the Watchguard Fireware DB directly instead of importing logfiles. I can't say when this will be finished.
 
Capra v0.8 released
By Joost Bakker - 19-01-08 12:36
For a complete list of changes see the changelog.
You can download Capra v0.8 here: v0.8
If you find a bug in this release you can report it here: Bugs

Note: It has come to my attention that Capra lacks proper support for MYSQL 5 and up.
I guess it's time for me to upgrade :o). A Quick fix for this problem is to disable 'Strict mode' on MYSQL 5 or to use MYSQL 4.1.
You can disable 'Strict mode' by editing your my.ini and replace this line:

sql-mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

with this:

sql-mode="NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

Capra v0.8.1 will have support for MYSQL 5.
 
Capra v0.8 Beta released
By Joost Bakker - 25-12-07 14:14
After 4 month's of development I'm very proud to announce a new version of Capra.
New features are support for the SMTP proxy and the inclusion of the Maxmind GeoLite IP <--> Country database. For a complete list of changes see the changelog.
Allot of time was spend on the support for SMTP proxy log messages. For now this has resulted in one SMTP proxy report (Spam Totals). But the underlying code is now ready for more SMTP proxy reports. They will be included in Capra v0.9.

Capra v0.8
By Joost Bakker - 01-12-07 12:05
A small update to the news section to let you know that Capra v0.8 is progressing slowly.
New features in Capra v0.8 will be the support for SMTP proxy and the inclusion of the Maxmind GeoLite IP <--> Country database.
 
Capra v0.7.1 released
By Joost Bakker - 03-09-07 18:50
Fixed a few bugs. The most important one is the 'if ProxyDNSReq in core/core.config.inc.php is TRUE' bug.
For a complete list of changes in v0.7.1 see the changelog.
 
Problems in Capra v0.7 with ProxyDNSReq
By Joost Bakker - 01-09-07 14:33
There is a bug in Capra that prevents it from importing if ProxyDNSReq in core/core.config.inc.php is TRUE
I have fixed the problem and will release 0.7.1 a.s.a.p.
Quickfix: set ProxyDNSReq in core/core.config.inc.php to FALSE.
 
Capra v0.7 released
By Joost Bakker - 27-08-07 21:36
After almost 3 month's of development I'm very proud to announce a new version of Capra.
I have added many new reports and features in this latest release. Got even more speed out of the importing module (20%) and I hope the new mark function will make it easier to report and track violations of your firewall policy.
For a complete list of changes in v0.7 see the changelog
 
Capra v0.4.1 released
By Joost Bakker - 30-05-07 17:55
Fixed a nasty bug introduced in v0.4 with the importing of ProxyMatch log messages. But that is not the only reason to consider an upgrade to v0.4.1. v0.4.1 makes use of XPATH instead of getElementsByTagName to extract the log message out of the xml file. This new way is, most of the times, 10x faster. For a complete list of changes in v0.4.1 see the changelog
 
Capra v0.4 released
By Joost Bakker - 17-05-07 17:05
Almost a year after the release of v0.3.1 there finally is a new version of Capra, v0.4.
I added the possibility to import FWStatus log message and off course the ability to make FWStatus reports. There is now also a page that allows you to delete old data from the database. For a complete list of changes in v0.4 see the changelog
