[ossec-list] Purpose of database output

2009-02-05 Thread John A. Sullivan III
Hello, all. We are busily diving into OSSEC; looks like a great product. We noticed the database output options and, after extensive searching of this list, found that using database output duplicates the local alert logging. Is there any OSSEC advantage to using database output or is it

Hi Peter, You need to have the system_audit entry for it to work and it has been added by default since v1.5. However, if you have been upgrading from previous versions, this entry is not added on updates. I will make sure to document it better (there are lots of features not well documented in

Hi John, The database output is specially useful to create reports and to consolidate all the alerts into one place if you have more than one ossec server. If you only have one server and don't care about doing custom reports in there, you are probably fine without it. thanks, -- Daniel B. Cid

We have OSSEC running on a couple of webapp servers and we're seeing FPs in the OSSEC logs that seem to be flagging the following section of this sample URI: +select+fixed+income My guess is that OSSEC sees this as SQL and alerts on it. We need to be able to get rid of these FPs since the word

2009-02-05 Thread Arthur R
I have installed ossec-hid and am wondering, if it has perhaps a web interface, or perhaps, optional gtk application, that would allow to to monitor its function (other than email alerts). I realize it works in the background, however, I'm not too clear on what would happen, if an intrusion

Hey Clayton, FP's are pretty normal since the ossec web rules are rather generic. The log line above is firing an alert just because of select+. The easiest way to deal with this is to add local rule like this: group name =local rule id=10 level=0 if_sid31103/if_sid

[ossec-list] Limiting OSSEC processes on VServer guests

Hello, all. We plan to make extensive use of OSSEC on a very large number of VServer guests. These are, in effect, very efficient and secure chroot guests and thus share the same kernel and, to a degree, memory and file system. Since the file systems for all the guests are accessible from the

Hello, all. As you can tell, we are continuing our exploration of OSSEC :-) We wanted to bind the OSSEC server to a specific address rather than all addresses. Thus, we changed the server's ossec.conf file to read: remote connectionsecure/connection local_ip192.168.223.28/local_ip
