What Hacker News says
5 sourcesThe source licensing here is a mess, AGPL, commercial, etc.
https://github.com/panther-labs/panther/blob/master/LICENSE
My read of the license file, is there seems to be some purposefully introduced license confusion and mixing of proprietary/commercial non oss files into the same repo, which makes it really unclear if this is OSS per OSI definition, if running git log will taint a contributor.
The compiled binaries assets are available under Apache 2.0, which appears to be a marketing tactic to capitalize on the name, while being completely unrelated to the actual source license, aka this is closer to free to use binary. IANAL but afaics most orgs should talk to a lawyer if they want to use this as OSS.
moreover this line in the readme also appears to be purposefully sowing confusion, "Panther is dual-licensed under the AGPLv3 and Apache

-2.0 licenses." except they actually appear to redefine the common usage of dual license, to mean that parts of the code base are selectively licensed one or the other.

In Show HN: Panther v1.0 – Open Source, Cloud-Native SIEMShow HN: Panther v1.0 – Open Source, Cloud-Native SIEM
Hey HN,
My name is Jack Naglieri. I’m the founder of Panther Labs - an SF-based cybersecurity startup. Prior to Panther, I was an engineering manager at Airbnb. Before that a security engineer/analyst/forensic analyst.
Today, I’m excited to announce Panther v1.0, an open source, cloud-native SIEM:
http://github.com/panther-labs/panther
Teams can use Panther as an alternative to traditional SIEMs like Splunk.
Panther is the culmination of our team’s experience building security tools at scale, including StreamAlert at Airbnb and critical internal monitoring systems at Amazon.
Panther runs entirely on serverless to enable small teams to detect threats at scale. Our backend is Golang and our frontend is React/Typescript. Panther is also self-hosted and uses Python3 for flexible detections.
At a high level:
- Panther receives security logs
-

Panther baseline scans cloud infra and determines security posture
- All data is saved to your data warehouse (powered by Athena/Glue/S3)
- Alerts are dispatched to your team via Slack, PagerDuty, etc
- Automatic remediations can also be applied to fix infrastructure
Panther v1.0 includes support for:
- Analyzing logs from AWS, OSS tools such as Osquery, OSSEC, Suricata, and more
- Threat hunting on all your security data with standardized fields (IPs, domains, etc)
- Real-time cloud configuration monitoring
- 150+ built-in detections
- A UI for creating, updating and tuning detections
To get started:
