Passive log analysis software

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/AskNetsec

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • OSSEC

    OSSEC is an Open Source Host-based Intrusion Detection System that performs log analysis, file integrity checking, policy monitoring, rootkit detection, real-time alerting and active response.

  • 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.

  • Wazuh

    Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform. Unified XDR and SIEM protection for endpoints and cloud workloads.

  • Wazuh is another HIDS that's variant of OSSEC. ELK would probably help too.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
