Hi woodspeed,

thanks to your links - but these articles I've allready read ... maybe I 
should sharpen my question:
 * Is there an deeper description, how connections between agend and ossec 
server is secured? Something like used Algo (RSA, AES, ...)  and used 
libraries? I think this connection is a very fundamental part of the my 
security chain.
* I found the chance to contact agents behind nat also (I just use this 
feature allready and am quite happy about :). But in my scenario the 
alienvault-server (where ossec server is part of) lies behind a nating 
firewall. So I'm searching for a way to connect an fixed ip agent to an natted 
ossec-server - that's the missing part. And to add some complexity, the whole 
stuff lies behind an DSL with dynamic changing IP.


Kind regards,
Michael
