Samhain Alternatives
Samhain is described as 'The Samhain host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) provides file integrity checking and log file monitoring/analysis, as well as rootkit detection, port monitoring, detection of rogue SUID executables, and hidden processes'. There are four alternatives to Samhain for Linux. The best alternative is Tripwire, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Samhain are AIDE (Free, Open Source), Mugsy (Free, Open Source) and syschangemon (Free, Open Source).
- Open Source Tripwire software is a security and data integrity tool useful for monitoring and alerting on specific file change(s) on a range of systems.
- AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a file and directory integrity checker.No screenshots yet
- Mugsy is a Linux file integrity monitor. It runs as a daemon and any file modifications made to your system on directories you've specify to monitor are logged locally and optionally sent to your elasticsearch server(s).
