Summary

OSSEC

Abstract

     Snort is an open source network intrusion prevention system,
capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on
IP networks. It can perform protocol analysis, content
searching/matching, and can be used to detect a variety of attacks and
probes, such as buffer overflows, stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB
probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more.

    OSSEC is an Open Source Host-based Intrusion Detection System. It
performs log analysis, file integrity checking, policy monitoring,
rootkit detection, real-time alerting and active response.
