Is there a way of making the restrictions in local rules? I could monitor from /application downwards with check_all Then in the local rule I would need to do some kind of match on where under /application it was. e.g. If /application then if progs then elseif spool then fi I know I can sp

I was more interested in whether using the other check options (non-overlapping check options) would help. Still good to know though. On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 4:51 AM, ItsMikeE wrote: > I tried reversing the order of directories to be monitored > >    /application/progs >    / > application > > an

I don't see how I could set that up, unless I was sure that there would not be any new subdirectories under /application in the future.

Thanks all for your responses. Just to be clear: I am not currently under attack. When my boss found out that I'd enabled something that could block IP's from our web site, he became anxious. I just wanted to explore the possibility that Active Response could cause more problems than it prevents.

I think it may still have issues, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Having duplicate entries in the syscheck db might be the big problem. Beyond this you could probably turn on the alert on new files option and create a rule for it. And possibly create a rule to ignore the syscheck stuff y

Hi Michael, Can you please let me know where articles/links should be published to. Do I just announce an article with its link on this list, or is there a wiki page that I have to update? Apologies if you've already mentioned this before. Regards, Chris On Sun, Oct 10, 2010 at 9:09 AM, Micha

Hi, It doesn't seem to work in Windows with this in the ossec.conf: full_command netstat -an | find "LISTEN" Nothing in the ossec.log to say it's going to monitor this "localfile". I'm running 2.4.1 on server and agent. What about the registry ignore problem? I've tried to ignore "G

I've seen similar OSSEC alerts for netstat before... In my case, when I compared the md5 hash of the running netstat with that of the RPM package, it was different! So, very suspicious... I forced a re-install the RPM package to the system, and the these alerts went away. Hard to say if this

It really depends on what your script does. Active Response doesn't technically "block" anything - it just allows for passing of certain parameters/variables to scripts so that you can take actionable measures. Explaining it that way might help... although, it might confuse him even more! But one e
