Ask HN: SQLite in Production?
Perhaps the OP means OsQuery: https://github.com/osquery/osquery
OsQuery is an SQLite extension consisting of hundreds of virtual tables

Osquery: An sqlite3 virtual table exposing operating system data to SQL
There's at least one open data quality issue for `process_open_sockets` on macOS[1]. It's a few years old however and, if you aren't seeing that casting error, you probably aren't hitting it. But that's a good example of the kind of debt that's been built up over time.
(In terms of general purpose/flexible tooling, I'm not aware of a close replacement for osquery.)

Show HN: Natural Language to SQL "Text-to-SQL" API by Dataherald
The largest we have successfully deployed is on the OSQuery schema https://osquery.io/ which is 277 tables and lots of business context (malwares, vulnerabilities, Windows registry keys, etc).

Alternative to Endpoint Protector?
From a self hosted standpoint OSQuery or Wazuh are your best bets for monitoring USB devices. Windows makes blocking really challenging and I’m not aware of any “free” solutions that attempt it.

Firewall rules beyond "deny incoming, enable only the ports that you need"
Configure auditd to monitor host activity: https://izyknows.medium.com/linux-auditd-for-threat-detection-d06c8b941505 or osquery: https://osquery.io/ (or similar software: filebeat for example).

Ask HN: How to monitor the security of a personal VPS?
OSSEC is good for monitoring logs, system files, etc. as well as alerting (and blocking traffic if you want) when anything suspicious happens
Takes a bit of work to set up but is worth it and includes lots of basic checks by default

Passive log analysis software
It's been a long time since I tried using OSSEC but maybe that would help. It's a Host-based IDS, rather than a network based IDS like Snort. Last time I checked you could point it towards your logs and it will parse them offline similar to how Snort can read a PCAP file.

Free EDR solutions
Not sure if it could be considered one but maybe OSSEC Host Intrusion Detection System might get you some.of the way can be found here
-
Intrusion detection software?
WAZUH (fork of OSSEC would be my first choice when it comes to Linux based HIDS (host based), and Snort or Suricata if you are looking for NIDS (network based). As well as Lynis for ensuring the setup of the host is as you intended.
- Software that tracks unauthorized user logins?
