The increasing complexity of modern systems led to the rise of AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) and observability practices. AIOps leveraged machine learning algorithms to automate problem detection, analysis, and resolution. Observability focused on gaining insights into system behaviour through metrics, logs, and traces. As a result, tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) gained popularity.

My only experience with NetFlow collection is on my home firewall/router running pfSense Community Edition, which is free to download and can be installed on a wide assortment of X86 hardware. I installed the Softflowd package, which exports NetFlow data to a dedicated Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana (ELK) server on my LAN. I believe Security Onion and ElastiFlow also can be NetFlow collectors.

Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK) Stack: An open source suite of tools for log management and analysis, providing real-time insights into security events.

Recently I have taken an interest in big data. https://neo4j.com/ , https://cassandra.apache.org/ , https://clickhouse.com/, https://www.elastic.co/ - are all databases I have experience with. Neo4j and Cassandra only as a hobby, but Clickhouse I have used in production, and Elasticsearch I have used for some 7 years now.

Buy an enterprise-class, wired router like the Negate 2100 ($349 USD), which runs pfSense, and configure the Deco AXE5400 device(s) to operate in Access Point Mode. Then install the Softflowd package through the pfSense web UI. Softflowd will collect and export NetFlow data to a NefFlow collector, which is the separate computer/VM/container referred to above, running software like Security Onion, ElastiFlow, or Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana (ELK).

If you’re unaware, elastic search is some like enterprise level search shit. They just put it in a theme. https://www.elastic.co

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.

I use Wazuh instead. Greenbone CE is severely limited and requires payment for anything beyond the very basic. Super simple installation more features.

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.

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.

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.

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.
