OSSEC 101: Introduction¶
What is OSSEC 101?¶
OSSEC 101 is an attempt to illustrate a walkthrough of an OSSEC lifecycle. The guide will be a walk-through from installation, to active response, and (most) everything in between.
Who is the target audience?¶
Anyone interested in using OSSEC. We hope to include information for installations of all sizes. A level of technical knowledge including (but not limited to) basic Linux administration is assumed. This document will instruct you to edit files, but will not walk you through using a text editor.
What do I need to use OSSEC?¶
A linux or unix system is required for an OSSEC server. Microsoft Windows is only supported as an agent, and agents require a server.
