Hi, thanks for the reply DK,

Well I found the GUI....thanks for the tip. It wasnt installed properly in Fedora Core 
1, ah well, never mind, Ill build a dedicated machine.

I am in the process of  building a server based version using Debian Woody. May I ask 
upon which Debian distro is the "Installing OSSIM on a Debian Gnu/Linux" based? (ie. 
woody or sarge)

I will integrated Firewall-1 NG and Realsecure host and network sensor traps and see 
how we get on....anything to filter those false positives has got to be good.

So..yes I would love your Perl script!!

Do you have any instructions on providing the SNMP package with the Realsecure MIB? We 
did this with HP OpenView, but it seemed overly complicated.
Do you mean I should enter all Realsecure enabled signtaures into the SIM XML file? 
Whoa....there are thousands.....any tips on processing Realsecure policy files?

By the way, I am CCing the public Issforum.net, im sure others will be interested.

Hi Stephen,

thanks for the conflict point, we'll try it out.

Regarding your questions:

1) Ossim adds itself to apache and the whole interface sits at 
/var/www/ossim.

2) In order to get realsecure input you have to do the following:

- Patch the installed policy in order to enable snmp logging of 
everything (a simple perl script does the thing, if you want it I can 
send it in)
- Enable any host running ossim agent to receive snmp traps (we used 
ucd-snmp) and log them into a file. You have to provide ucd-snmp with 
the realsecure MIB.
- Sort all your installed realsecure rules and enter them into the 
plugin_sid table. Some sample rules are included with ossim.
- Modify the Realsecure agent in order to get the same plugin index.

If you wan't more detailed info just ask but it may take me some time 
to write it down.

Greetings,

DK
