WebJob Description

Free and open source app that downloads and executes a program in one unified operation WebJob downloads a program or script from a remote WebJob server and executes it in one unified operation. Any output produced by the program/script is packaged up and sent to a remote, possibly different, WebJob server. WebJob is useful because it provides a mechanism for running known good programs on damaged or potentially compromised systems. This makes it ideal for remote diagnostics, incident response, and evidence collection. WebJob also provides a framework that is conducive to centralized management. Therefore, it can support and help automate a large number of common administrative tasks and host-based monitoring scenarios such as periodic system checks, integrity monitoring, patch/package management, file updates, and so on.NOTE: WebJob is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License. Here are some key features of "WebJob": · Automatically harvest argus, ifconfig, lsof, netstat, ndd, patch, ps, tcpdump, (name your utility), etc. data · Automatically update cron tabs, DNS records, password files, snort rules, web sites, (name your application), etc. · Automatically update system binaries when their MD5s do not match expected values · Conduct massive searches for credit card numbers, social security numbers, and suspect hashes · Deploy FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, and Windows packages · Drive GUI-based Windows utilities via AutoIT scripts · Harvest evidence and diagnostic information from hundreds (300+) of systems in parallel · Harvest system information to perform security audits or compliance verification · Implement a Virtual Evidence Locker (VEL) · Implement and maintain a Poor Man's Compile Farm (PMCF) · Implement and maintain a distributed malware test harness · Perform integrity monitoring with FTimes · Periodically perform administrative tasks on a 950+ node Content Delivery Network (CDN) What's New in This Release: · Generally, code was cleaned up and refined as necessary. Several bugs have been fixed -- see the ChangeLog for details. Externally, there have been several changes: embedded Perl support has been added; the client now includes failover/fallback support; the CGI script now includes queuing support via Job Queue Directories (JQD); and several new utilities and Perl modules have been added to improve server-side configuration and management. Note that nph-webjob.cgi now depends on several Perl modules, and it is no longer a drop in replacement.
