Alternatives
OpenDLP and MyDLP are dead. If you are looking for a current Linux DLP solution, you are looking for Aquilon DLP.
You get current Linux packages, built-in scanners, shared-folder and removable-media coverage, and findings in osquery tables. Basic starts free for non-commercial Linux use on up to 5 servers.
You install current RPM, DEB, or tar.gz packages on amd64 or arm64. Basic ships with 58 scanners plus GDPR and CCPA policy packs.
On Linux, Aquilon watches endpoints, shared folders, and removable media. Findings land in osquery tables such as aquilon_dlp_alerts, so the first check looks like a normal osquery query instead of another web stack to babysit.
Packages
Install the package format you already use. The current release set covers RPM, DEB, and tar.gz.
Coverage
The Linux path covers endpoint files, shared folders, and removable media without bolting on a second discovery product.
Workflow
Results show up in osquery tables, which is usually the fastest way to tell whether the workflow fits your team.
| What matters | Aquilon Basic | MyDLP community code | OpenDLP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public code history | Current release notes and package pages are live on aquilon.dev. | Main public repos were last pushed between October 11, 2013 and February 27, 2014. | Public repo last pushed May 15, 2014. |
| Linux path | Current RPM, DEB, and tar.gz packages. |
Linux endpoint repo last pushed January 5, 2014. | README centers on a Windows agent plus agentless UNIX scans. |
| Linux coverage model | 58 scanners, policy packs, shared-folder and removable-media coverage, plus osquery tables. | Older community stack and Linux agent code path. | Legacy regex and scan-profile workflow. |
| Deployment shape | Install packages, validate config, and query findings through osquery. | Follow the older public repos and the community Linux agent path. | Assemble the Apache, MySQL, Perl, agent, and scan-job stack from the public docs. |
The public Linux paths stopped moving in 2013 and 2014.
Neither project gives you a current public Linux option.
MyDLP stalled there. OpenDLP's public docs still assume an Apache, MySQL, and Perl stack, plus winexe, sshfs, and a 32-bit sc.exe from Windows 2000 or XP.
The first check is smaller than it looks. Install one Linux host, validate the config, start osqueryd, and query aquilon_dlp_alerts. That usually tells you most of what you need to know.
1. Get Basic. Use the Basic flow to get the current Linux packages for a small first deployment.
2. Install one Linux host. Pick the package format you already use and run the same validation step from the quick start docs.
3. Query the table. Inspect aquilon_dlp_alerts in osquery and see whether the coverage and workflow fit what you were looking for.
$ aquilon-dlp --validate-config /etc/aquilon/config.toml $ sudo systemctl start osqueryd $ osqueryi --connect /var/osquery/extensions.sock 'SELECT * FROM aquilon_dlp_alerts LIMIT 5;'
