Vulnerability discussion

Without a host-based intrusion detection tool, there is no system-level defense when an intruder gains access to a system or network. Additionally, a host-based intrusion detection tool can provide methods to immediately lock out detected intrusion attempts.

Check content

A few applications providing host-based network intrusion protection are: - Dragon Squire by Enterasys Networks - ITA by Symantec - Hostsentry by Psionic Software - Logcheck by Psionic Software - RealSecure agent by ISS - Swatch by Stanford University Ask the SA or IAO if a host-based intrusion detection application is loaded on the system (where is the name of the primary application daemon) to determine if the application is loaded on the system. # find / -name | xargs -n1 ls -lL Determine if the application is active on the system. # ps -ef | grep If no host-based intrusion detection system is installed on the system, this is a finding.

Fix text

Install a host-based intrusion detection tool.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
