Monthly report n⁰49 - 2026-05

This month's activities across the PiRogue Tool Suite project cover the completion and Colander integration of Mandolin, our new standalone service for offline artifact analysis, and the decoupling of PiRogue fleet management into two new dedicated modules. Our submission to OTF's UX & Discovery Lab was accepted, with The Engine Room set to conduct field user research and propose interface improvements for PiRogue and Colander. Major updates were also released for Octopus. The team held its monthly community meeting on May 28, the next community call is scheduled for June 26, 2026.

Monthly report n⁰46 - 2026-02

Real-time threat intelligence is now live in Colander, with network flows and Suricata alerts streaming directly from PiRogue devices, plus Threatr queries and flow imports straight into cases. We also enabled PiRogue as an emergency VPN server for supporting at-risk individuals without physical device access. On the maintenance side, we tightened up the UX across the board, better status monitoring, quick system version checks, simpler team access management, and a leaner device monitoring workflow.

Monthly report n⁰45 - 2026-01

We completed the PiRogue VPN user story this month, so organizations can now enroll both physical and virtual PiRogue instances into Colander, manage their fleet from one place, see network flows in real time, and configure devices remotely. We developed Mongoose, a Python library handling network event collection and transmission to make all this work. On the maintenance side, We restructured pirogue-admin into separate packages now published on PyPI. Ragheb Ghandour joined the team as Product Manager, and we presented PTS at FOSDEM 2026. Next up is reorganizing the documentation and sending out a survey to our community.
