  Description     : A free and very powerfull HIDS

OSSEC is a free and very powerfull host-based intrusion detection system which performs log analysis, integrity checking, rootkit detection, time-based alerting and active response.

OSSEC provides a simplified centralized management server to manage policies across multiple operating systems. Additionally, it also lets customers define server specific overrides for finer grained policies.

OSSEC offers the flexibility of agent based and agentless monitoring of systems and networking components such as routers and firewalls. It lets customers who have restrictions on software being installed on systems (such as FDA approved systems or appliances) meet security and compliance needs.
