OSSEC HIDS is an open source host-based intrusion
detection system. It performs log analysis, integrity
checking, rootkit detection, time-based alerting and
active response.
This is one of the most improved versions so far. It
now includes support for squid, pure-ftpd, postfix and
AIX ipsec logs (in addition to a lot of improvements
to the previous rules).
The integrity checking engine now allows granular
options, where you can specify exactly what options
you want to monitor (checksum, size, ownership, etc).
The rootkit detection had a lot of improvements too,
reducing false positives on most of the systems and
with a lot of new anomaly checks to detect kernel
level rootkits.
We also have a new website and the installation in 4
different languages (portuguese, english, german and
turkish).
