Join Andrew Hay, author of the OSSEC Host-based Intrusion Detection Guide, Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring, and the Nokia Firewall , VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide . I know about OSSEC but it doesn't have integrated AV, firewall, or anything like that. OSSEC is a host based intrusion detection system. It goes looking for rootkits, analyses logs and checks file integrity. I am a huge fan of OSSEC for knocking down or out the noise that comes from daily life on the internet. If you have never used OSSEC before, take some time to read through its manual to determine which features interest you and how to configure them. This book is the definitive guide on the OSSEC Host-based Intrusion Detection system and frankly, to really use OSSEC you are going to need a definitive guide.

It monitors your various system and service So, Step 1 – Go Here and follow the guides to get Xcode and GCC running on OSX, substitute the version of OSSEC with the latest (2.7) and install. It runs on most operating OSSEC for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and Windows Server 2003, 2008: ossec-agent-win32-2.7.exe. OSSEC HIDS is an Open Source Host-based Intrusion Detection System. On behalf of the OSSEC Host-based Intrusion Detection Guide author team I wanted to thank you for the high praise you gave our little book. Extract the compressed package and run the “./install.sh” script (It will guide you through the installation). Built-in Host-based Intrusion Detection System: PC-BSD® installs OSSEC which can be configured to perform log analysis, file integrity checking, policy monitoring, rootkit detection, real-time alerting, and active response. OSSEC performs log analysis, integrity checking, rootkit detection, real-time alerting and active response. Ideally I'd like a centrally managed endpoint protection suite with host-based IDS and anti-virus at a minimum. Be it some annoying bot from China, Brazil, OSSEC is a Host Based Intrusion Detection/Prevention solution (HIDS or HIPS for short). It helps increasing the security of your server.
