Samhain is host-based intrusion detection system and file integrity checker.
Samhain is open source and effective network security software.
Samhain provides file integrity checking and logfile monitoring/analysis, as well as rootkit detection, port monitoring, detection of rogue SUID executables, and hidden processes.
It is designed to monitor multiple hosts with potentially different operating systems, providing centralized logging and maintenance, although it can also be used as standalone application on a single host.
Some good features:
Centralized monitoring
Web-based management console
Multiple logging facilities
Tamper resistance
Supported OS
POSIX (e.g. Linux, *BSD, Solaris 2.x, AIX 5.x, AIX 4.x, HP-UX 10.20, HP-UX 11, Unixware 7.1.0, Alpha/True64, and Mac OS X)
Windows 2000 / WindowsXP with POSIX emulation (e.g. Cygwin)
It uses the beltane web-based console so it can be easily managed anywhere from the web, making it easy and simple.
Deployment is just so simple and mass deployment is so easy with a simple commands.
What we like about this software is its integration with Prelude, Nagios, and other generic interfaces and active response.
