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

Ask the SA or IAO if a host-based intrusion detection application is loaded on the system. The preferred intrusion detection system is McAfee HBSS available through Cybercom. If another host-based intrusion detection application, such as SELinux, is used on the system, this is not a finding. Procedure: Examine the system to see if the Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) is installed #rpm -qa | grep MFEhiplsm If the MFEhiplsm package is installed, HBSS is being used on the system. If another host-based intrusion detection system is loaded on the system # find / -name Where is the name of the primary application daemon to determine if the application is loaded on the system. Determine if the application is active on the system. Procedure: # ps -ef | grep If no host-based intrusion detection system is installed on the system, this is a finding.

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.
