Apologies if this has been answered before but I couldn't find any
information about this. I'm also new to OSSEC.

How does an agent based install of OSSEC detect or prevent the
modification of the agent itself?

For example, what's to stop someone replacing the agent with their own
custom binary to do god-knows what?

Are there any best practices to prevent this?

I'm aware that an agentless install can help mitigate this however the
sshd binary would possibly be a weak point there. Also you lose some
of the nicer features of the agent based install.

Also am I right in thinking the file integrity database is also stored
locally and open to modification in a local only install?

John.
