    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.

  • 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
