May 2025 performance highlights for wazuh/wazuh: delivered key features and stability enhancements focused on accurate file system path reporting and cross-platform build reliability. The work improves security visibility, incident investigations, and packaging reliability across kernel versions (6.8.0+) and Solaris 11 environments.

April 2025 monthly summary for wazuh/wazuh: Delivered Oracle Linux 10 Support for Security Configuration Assessment (SCA) and implemented critical stability improvements across builds and data collection. Expanded OS coverage to Oracle Linux 10 by adding configuration files and directory structures and updating build specs and check_files to ensure accurate SCA processing. Addressed runtime and data integrity concerns for older OS variants by aligning eBPF probes with kernel version differences and correcting storage/CSV sizing. These changes improve deployment coverage, reduce build/runtime risk, and ensure reliable data capture across diverse Linux environments. Technologies demonstrated include packaging and build tooling (SPECS), SCA configuration, eBPF kernel integration, and storage/config management.

March 2025: Delivered substantial BPF/eBPF improvements across wazuh/wazuh and robustness updates in wazuh-agent. Implemented source-and-prebuilt BPF build paths, improved libbpf-bootstrap compatibility for older OSes, aligned codebase with C++14, and refactored FIM event handling with double buffering. Added kernel-version-aware eBPF vfs_unlink handling to prevent crashes on newer kernels. Cleaned up test configuration to reflect current FIM expectations. Enhanced post-install cleanup in wazuh-agent with robust error handling to ensure complete, visible failures when removal fails. Overall, these changes improved stability, cross-OS compatibility, and deployment reliability while reducing maintenance overhead.

February 2025: Delivered two high-impact features in wazuh/wazuh that strengthen security posture and audit visibility. No major bugs fixed this month; efforts focused on stability, distro coverage, and packaging. Overall impact includes expanded enterprise Linux coverage, improved forensic capabilities, and smoother deployment workflows. Skills demonstrated include kernel-level auditing with eBPF, enhanced packaging (RPM) and data/config management.

January 2025 performance summary focusing on delivering reliable log ingestion, robust cross-platform release tooling, and policy/workflow improvements with clear business value. Key initiatives included a journald integration for wazuh-agent with cursor-based log positioning and enhanced Linux filtering/testing, broad CI/build tooling improvements to address macOS compilation, permissions handling, and packaging workflows, and policy/packaging enhancements in wazuh to standardize SCA naming, improve file revision checks, and add Fedora 41 support.

December 2024 monthly summary for wazuh/wazuh: Implemented robust CSV path matching for check_files across versions by introducing a global wildcard (*) in file paths.
