Michael Starks from Immutable Security finished today his series of articles about OSSEC called “Week of OSSEC“. It was meant to coincide with his speak on OSSEC at the Rochester Security Summit.

From his blog:

As a service to the community and to coincide with my speaking on OSSEC at the Rochester Security Summit, every day during the week of October 25 through October 31, I’ll be posting a new tip on OSSEC based on my years of first-hand experience. These are the tips that make the software more usable for me and hopefully, it will for you, too. Have a tip that has helped you? Be sure to post it in the comments.

Links to the articles:

• Day 1: Detecting World-Writable Files
• Day 2: Detecting New Files
• Day 3: Using Variables
• Day 4: Using Groups
• Day 5: Reusing Rule IDs
• Day 6: Developing a Tuning Strategy
• Day 7: Developing a Workflow
