Today, we ([blotus](https://github.com/blotus),
[caillou](https://github.com/xXx-caillou-xXx) (my intern) and me) released the
very [first version of
Snuffleupagus](https://github.com/nbs-system/snuffleupagus/releases/tag/v0.1.0),
the `0.1.0`, codename **Mighty Mammoth**.
As *hinted* in [the]({filename}/reversing/re_blackalps.md)
[previous]({filename}/talks/hacklu_2017.md)
[blogposts]({filename}/talks/berlinsides_2017.md), Snuffleupagus is a security
module for PHP7, and everything you need to know about it is written in [its
exhaustive documentation](https://snuffleupagus.readthedocs.io/).

For the release, we fixed a lot of bugs (most of them were, unsurprisingly,
related to cookie-encryption), made sure that everything was working on a typical
Wordpress and Magento 2 stacks, and *caillou* implemented an amazing parser for the
configuration so you can match with a regexp on the content of a variable like
`$a->b[$c[2]]['batman']`.

We're slowly putting it into production on our side, and other people are
already happy users. Since we're providing packages for [various
distributions](https://snuffleupagus.readthedocs.io/download.html), you could
do the same: Offer yourself, for Christmas, an hardened PHP7 stack,
allowing you to sleep better at night, without living in the fear of the next
big vulnerability in whatever web stuff you're using.

For the next release, the `0.2.0`, we already have a lot of [cools
ideas](https://github.com/nbs-system/snuffleupagus/milestone/3), but do feel
free to add your own.
If you feel like contributing, we have some [easy
issues](https://github.com/nbs-system/snuffleupagus/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22)
with [guidelines on how to
contribute](https://github.com/nbs-system/snuffleupagus/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md),
and if you don't know how to write proper C, we'll be happy to accept new [rules
files](https://github.com/nbs-system/snuffleupagus/tree/master/config) for you
favourite CMS!
