Very interesting project. Some features could be included in OSSEC, but we 
have to pay attention to false positives.

There are some workarounds to run these features in OSSEC:

   - Beaconing: Create an script to detect beaconing and send the output to 
   a log. You can create decoders, rules and active response scripts.
   - Blacklisted IPs: Create/download a IP database reputation and use it 
   like CDB list (field srcip).
   - Scanning: Use some software to detect scans (snort or similar) and 
   read the logs. You can create active responses to block the IPs.
   - Long Duration Connections: Same idea that Beaconing.
   - Long URLs: You can create precompiled rules to see the length of a URL.

Regards.

Thanks for the ideas.
