OpenDLP is a free and open source, agent- and agentless-based, centrally-managed, massively distributable data loss prevention tool released under the GPL. Given appropriate Windows, UNIX, MySQL, or MSSQL credentials, OpenDLP can simultaneously identify sensitive data at rest on hundreds or thousands of Microsoft Windows systems, UNIX systems, MySQL databases, or MSSQL databases from a centralized web application. OpenDLP has two components:

  • A web application to manage Windows agents and Windows/UNIX/database agentless scanners
  • A Microsoft Windows agent used to perform accelerated scans of up to thousands of systems simultaneously

 

Web Application

  • Automatically deploy and start agents over Netbios/SMB
  • When done, automatically stop, uninstall, and delete agents over Netbios/SMB
  • Pause, resume, and forcefully uninstall agents in an entire scan or on individual systems
  • Concurrently and securely receive results from hundreds or thousands of deployed agents over two-way-trusted SSL connection
  • Create Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCREs) for finding sensitive data at rest
  • Create reusable profiles for scans that include whitelisting or blacklisting directories and file extensions
  • Review findings and identify false positives
  • Export results as XML
  • Written in Perl with MySQL backend
  • Can deploy Windows agents through existing Meterpreter sessions (new in 0.5)

Agent

  • Runs on Windows 2000 and later systems
  • Written in C with no .NET Framework requirements
  • Runs as a Windows Service at low priority so users do not see or feel it
  • Resumes automatically upon system reboot with no user interaction
  • Securely transmit results to web application at user-defined intervals over two-way-trusted SSL connection
  • Uses PCREs to identify sensitive data inside files
  • Performs additional checks on potential credit card numbers to reduce false positives
  • Can read inside ZIP files, including Office 2007 and OpenOffice files
  • Limits itself to a percent of physical memory so there is no thrashing when processing large files

Agentless Database Scans

In addition to performing data discovery on Windows operating systems, OpenDLP also supports performing agentless data discovery against the following databases:

  • Microsoft SQL server
  • MySQL

Agentless File System and File Share Scans

With OpenDLP 0.4, one can perform the following scans:

  • Agentless Windows file system scan (over SMB)
  • Agentless Windows share scan (over SMB)
  • Agentless UNIX file system scan (over SSH using sshfs)
