Version 13.3.0

May 21, 2024

Added the PTPv2 (1588-2008) Client module to support the PTPv2 protocol described in standard IEEE1588-2008.
Added the PTPv2 (1588-2008) Server module to support the PTPv2 protocol described in standard IEEE1588-2008.

Enhancements

Updated the ARP Low-level protocol to include the GARP (Gratuitous ARP) and IARP (Inverse ARP) request types.
Changing the Scale Type parameter for an existing project will now update the Module Browser tree to reflect the new number of combinations.
Updated the beSTORM User Guide to include fuzz testing guides, EDSA module documentation, and API documentation. This content was initially only available on Fortra's Beyond Security Portal.
Replaced the embedded beSTORM User Guide PDF with the HTML version to provide a better user experience. The PDF version of the guide is still available for download from Fortra's Beyond Security Portal.

Fixes

Fixed an issue where beSTORM 13.1.0 would stop responding while creating a project using the Network Configuration v1.0, Network Configuration v1.1, or SFTP Client modules.
Fixed an issue where beSTORM would stop responding if it ran a project using the FTP module.
Updated an error message when Npcap is improperly installed.

June 2023

Version 13.1.0

June 21, 2023

Enhancements

Added support for Windows 11.
Updated the IEEE802.11 (AP), IEEE802.11 (AP - Simple), IEEE802.11 (Subscriber), and IEEE802.11 (Subscriber - Simple) modules to be compatible with Windows 10 or later.
Changed the error message for entering an invalid hostname or IP address on the Basic Configuration window to be easier to understand.
Added an enhancement to prompt a confirmation dialog when deleting a module's default buffer types.
Removed the IEEE802.11 (Subscriber - Simple - UDP), CG4579 (Over PCAN) - Custom, and Running Speed and Cadence (Custom) modules.

NOTE: If your projects use these modules, substitute them with the IEEE802.11 (Subscriber - Simple), CG4579 (Over PCAN), and Running Speed and Cadence modules.

Fixes

Fixed an issue where the source port for some tests was incorrect due to endian issues caused by the EDSAv2-406 TCPv4 and EDSAv3-406 TCPv4 modules.
Fixed an issue where the Simple Web Server module would stop responding when the default port number (80) was in use. The module now reports an error and allows you to change the port setting to an available number.
Fixed an issue where deleted module buffer types were still used to generate fuzzed data.
Fixed an issue where saving a project in the Console Client would repeatedly display the "Settings were saved successfully to" message.

April 19, 2022

Enhancements

Migrated support from Python2 to Python3.
Updated progress to the user's UI to show what it is doing.

March 2022

Version 12.3.8

March 3, 2022

Enhancements

The AutoSPS is now visible so that the Console version can access it.
Added support for a custom Generator (for example, allow one for Bluetooth).

Enhancements

Added the UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services) module.
Updated support for CAN and CANFD to allow Signal Mixing, simplifying the building of the modules (you now write the values as bytes with a mask on them rather than in bits, making it less confusing to write large modules and easier to implement custom fuzzing values/fields).
Added support for the ValueCAN family of devices (by way of the ICS Interface).

March 2020

Version 10.3.9

March 9, 2020

Enhancements

Expanded the Web Application auto learn to support Postman v2 JSON file in addition to supporting OpenAPI.

February 20, 2020

Enhancements

Added support for converting DBC files to BSM (beSTORM modules) to PCAN.
Updated the DBC conversion to automatically decide the type of CAN bus to use (FD or regular), based on the message sizes in the description.
Improved the DBC Generator to detect messages longer than 64-bit (CAN FD support).
Udpated the DBC Generator to output errors to the beSTORM interface to improve issue debugging.
Updated the PCAN Interface to issue a warning when a CAN FD message is provided (where a CANBUS message is expected).
Updated the DBC Generator to prevent malformed messages from being generated (CAN FD messages to CANBUSTER - messages whose ID is longer than 29bits, etc.).

Fixes

Fixed several minor issues related to report generation, and module control and output.
Fixed an issue where the OPC module was not correctly setting the Timeout value, causing the module to fault on some advance testing.
Fixed an issue where migration from OpenSSL 1.0 to 1.1 caused some functionality related to MD5 geting lost, affecting SNMPv3 protocols
