Keeping an eye on your network with PasTmon

12-02-2008 02:00 AM
The PasTmon passive traffic monitor keeps an eye on your network, recording which clients are interacting with which services, when and how long things took. You can then use the application's PHP Web interface to investigate these figures to see if any host is connecting to Web services that it shouldn't, or is contacting services suspiciously more frequently than you would expect for normal operation, or when response times become excessively long.

Keeping an eye on all user activities

I am responsible for administering 6 Tru64UX servers. I need to keep an eye on all the commands executed by all the users. Is there a way where I can save the commands executed in a seperate folder and then keep checking the list every now and then. How can do it ?

NAME

       prads2snort - Snort autotuning of Frag3 and Stream5

SYNOPSIS

	  prads2snort -i /var/log/prads-asset.log -o /etc/snort/host_attributes.xml -d linux -v

DESCRIPTION

       PRADS is a Passive Real-time Asset Detection System.

       It  passively  listen to network traffic and gathers information on hosts and services it sees on the network. This information can be used
       to map your network, letting you know what services and hosts are alive/used, or can be used together with your favorite IDS/IPS setup  for
       "event to host/service" correlation.

       Gathering  info about your hosts in real-time, will also let you detect assets that are just connected to the network for a short period of
       time, where a active network scan (nmap etc.) would take long time, and not common to run continually, hence missing the asset.

       The initial goal of implementing PRADS, was to make the host_attribute_table.xml for Snort (automatically).

       PRADS2SNORT is the tool that does this!

OPTIONS

       -i,--infile <file>
	      file to feed prads2snort.pl

       -o,--outfile <file>
	      file to write host_attribute data to (host_attribute.xml)

       -d,--default <os>
	      set Default OS if unknown (linux,bsd,macos,windows)

       -v, --verbose
	      prints out OS, frag, stream and confidence of asset

       -h, --help
	      this help message

       --version
	      show prads2snort.pl version

PROBLEMS

       1. Better mapping of less used apps to their correct snort attributes or drop them.
