  • Creating a jump host in 2023
    6 projects | /r/sysadmin | 2 Jan 2023
    If you're planning to use Active Directory and/or Azure AD, run ADRecon/AzureADRecon and Bloodhound frequently and review in depth. Run ScoutSuite frequently and review as part of a normal operational cycle (e.g., at weekly team meetings make the results available and set aside 15 minutes to discuss and make assignments). Look critically at where these three tools overlap within two or three degrees of separation from your jump hosts (e.g., hosts/nodes that are one or two devices away and users/security groups that are one or two devices away) for help prioritizing when you have too many high-risk/high-impact items to look through.

    You can run ADRecon to create an Excel report with all AD objects like users, groups, computers etc. Very useful to get an overview of you AD. Especially inspect the Excel tab "users" and go through the columns "info" and "description". Many companies store cleartext credentials or initial passwords in these fields. Those fields can be read by any authenticated AD user and is not a great place to put sensitive data

  • Exclude certain CIS (sca) rules from agents
    1 project | /r/Wazuh | 11 Dec 2023
    There is currently no feature for excluding specific SCA rules however this feature has been requested here and would be added to the roadmap for future releases.

  • Greenbone

    I use Wazuh instead. Greenbone CE is severely limited and requires payment for anything beyond the very basic. Super simple installation more features.
  • Update vulnerability databases through proxy with authentication
    3 projects | /r/Wazuh | 7 Dec 2023
    Seems like something that should be documented somewhere more official than a random reddit post for sure. Added it to https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/1112 for good measure.
  • 💻 Introducing Wazuh 4.7.0.
    1 project | /r/Wazuh | 6 Dec 2023
    Hmm, I've really been wanting to try Wazuh but since all our endpoints (Win10/11) are running a German locale I've run into https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/16842 when checking the compliance checks (CIS benchmarks) on a test installation of 4.6.
  • Risks of hosting a website out of my house

    Monitoring & Active Measures - Exporting firewall events to an external time-series database like I describe above is good to see who is touching your firewall or accessing your web site. Using an Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata, which is a free package on pfSense, and deploying file system integrity monitoring, such as the open-source Wazuh on the exposed server are also good approaches to protecting yourself.
  • Ignore Vulnerability for specific CVE?
    1 project | /r/Wazuh | 23 Aug 2023
    We are actively working on enhancing the system to allow users to mark vulnerabilities as "not vulnerable" or hide them. You can track the progress of this enhancement on the following GitHub issue: (Enhancement - Mark Vulnerabilities as Not Vulnerable).

    Hello, thanks for using Wazuh, I will try to answer your questions: 1- I am going to check with the team in charge to see if there is a way. 2- Untriaged is a default value that is placed on vulnerabilities that do not have low, medium or high values https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/12675 3- As in the previous point, the providers of vulnerability lists have not provided the data.
