This commit introduces several significant enhancements to the way commands are executed and logged in the application. The changes are primarily focused on improving the robustness, reliability, and transparency of the command execution process, as well as enhancing the quality and usefulness of the log output. 1. Command Execution Enhancements: The use_sudo method has been refactored to handle commands that do not return any output. Previously, the method was designed to capture and return the output of the command being executed. However, some commands (such as modprobe) do not return any output, which caused issues with the previous implementation. The method now checks the exit status of the command to determine whether it was successful or not, and returns a success or failure message accordingly. This change improves the robustness of the command execution process and ensures that it can handle a wider range of commands. 2. Error Handling Improvements: The use_sudo method now includes more comprehensive error handling. If a command fails to execute within a specified timeout period, an error message is logged and the method returns a failure message. Additionally, if a command fails to execute for any other reason, the method logs the error and returns a failure message with the command's exit status. These changes make it easier to identify and troubleshoot issues with command execution. 3. Logging Enhancements: The logging mechanism has been enhanced to provide more detailed and useful information. The use_sudo method now logs the command being executed and its outcome (success or failure). If a command fails, the method logs the command's exit status. These changes improve the transparency of the command execution process and make it easier to identify and troubleshoot issues. 4. Code Refactoring: Several methods have been refactored for improved readability and maintainability. The use_sudo method has been refactored to reduce its complexity and improve its readability. The first_run_setup method has been refactored to ensure that the main interface name and the dummy interface name are properly passed to the setup_traffic_mirroring method. 5. Bug Fixes: A bug in the create_dummy_interface method that caused it to return an array of Alert objects instead of the dummy interface name has been fixed. The method now correctly returns the dummy interface name. These changes represent a significant improvement to the command execution and logging mechanisms in the application, and lay the groundwork for further enhancements in the future. |

Introduction
Welcome to NETRAVE, a cybersecurity solution designed to provide a high level of security, vigilance, and response to threats, ensuring that network environments remain secure and resilient. This README provides a comprehensive overview of the software, its purpose, functions, objectives, and unique methods of handling issues/challenges.
About NETRAVE
NETRAVE is an acronym for Network Environment for Threat Response and Advanced Vulnerability Extermination. It is a modular cybersecurity software that aims to provide a high level of security, vigilance, and response to threats, ensuring that network environments remain secure and resilient.
About the Developer
Connor Crawford, also known as Vetheon, is currently the only developer behind NETRAVE. With over 8 years of experience in the private sector, Connor has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in software development, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. Recognizing the need for more transparency and open-source solutions in cybersecurity, he began producing open-source software, with NETRAVE being one of his first flagship projects and his first ever large project written in Ruby.
Technical Overview
NETRAVE is designed with a modular architecture, which allows for easy customization, upgrades, and maintenance. Each module in NETRAVE is designed to perform a specific function, and they can work independently or in harmony, depending on the needs of the user.
The software is built using Ruby, a high-level, interpreted programming language that emphasizes simplicity and productivity. Ruby's dynamic typing and object-oriented design make it an ideal choice for a modular system like NETRAVE.
Recent updates include the implementation of a secure sudo system, and the creation of a NetworkingGenie class to handle network interface setup and traffic mirroring. The AlertQueueManager class has also been updated to use a standard Array queue instead of a Ring Buffer for managing the queue of alerts.
Modular Design
The modular design of NETRAVE is one of its key features. Each module is designed to perform a specific function, and they can work independently or in harmony, depending on the needs of the user. This design allows for easy customization, upgrades, and maintenance.
The modular design also allows for easy expansion. New modules can be added to the system as needed, providing additional functionality without disrupting the existing system. This flexibility makes NETRAVE a scalable solution that can adapt to the changing needs of a network environment.
Contributing
NETRAVE is an open-source project, and contributions are welcome. If you're interested in contributing, please fork the repository and make your changes. Once you're done, submit a pull request. All contributions, no matter how small, are greatly appreciated.
