Hi all

I'm looking to confirm something with regards the active response feature, I 
believe this works in something like the following manner

Data sent from logs on Agent>  triggers rules / alert on master>  fires 
relevant active response script on agent

The active response script / binary needs to be placed in active-response/bin 
on the agent and the master server is itself not capable of running arbitrary 
commands on the agent system or injecting scripts / binaries onto this for 
execution.


Correct. The server cannot run arbitrary commands on the agents or
transfer AR files to the agents.

You're right--in the context of AR. I just wanted to point out that if someone has control of the server (manager) they can distribute an agent.conf with full_command and do pretty much anything they want on the agents.
