How do you know when a Linux system has been compromised?
I'm sure you have followed the procedure how to install system and
services so everything is secure.
If, in a longer run no matter that you have system set up and configured
securely and keep updating, if still the system gets compromised, then
you need:
1. compromise warming
2. forensic investigation
3. recovery from compromise.
I figure your is about 1. You probably will not get detailed description
of actual setup people on this list have. Information about what the
defense is is the first step in every attack. The best you may get are
the advises of what to look for.
One of the things you can set up is [host based, maybe] system integrity
checking system (or intrusion detection system). That only makes sense
on freshly installed system in known good state. There were a variety of
these: tripwire (which went commercial), eics, ... If you search for
linux intrusion detection system you should find what you need.
I hope, this helps.

Every day I watch our systems with all the typical tools, ps, top, who,
I watch firewall / IPS logs, I have logwatch setup and mailing daily
summaries to me and I dive deeper into logs if something looks suspicious.
What am I missing or not looking at that you security gurus are looking at?
I subscribe to the centos and SANS newsletters, and I try to keep
current on all technology with credible sources of articles online and
with the Lynda library.
What other sources of information do you use to stay current about the
latest threats and technology updates?
I appreciate the feedback.
Chris
