Longtime OSSEC Contributor Vic Hargrave has released an update to the OSSEC Virtual appliance.
Thanks again for everyone who attended OSSEC Con 2018, it was fantastic meeting everyone and hearing how you’re using OSSEC. I’d especially like to thank our sponsors: Virgil Security, Prometheus Global, Atomicorp and Cyber Academy.
I have updated the OSSEC Virtual Appliance to include OSSEC 2.8.1 and Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana (ELK) log management and the ElasticHQ system to handle ELK monitoring. It is a single gzipped OVA that can be easily imported into VirtualBox or any other virtualization system that supports OVA files.
OSSEC CON 2014 was held in Cork Ireland this year to promote OSSEC in EMEA where we have many users. This year we had several members of the current OSSEC Team speak to our audience.
OSSEC Commercial Support contracts will no longer be available directly from Trend Micro as of March 2014; however all existing agreements will continue to be fully supported until the end of their respective terms.
The OSSEC developers have been hard at work on version 2.8 and we have made Beta-1 packages available for testing. See the Downloads page. Helps us with the testing and fine tuning of this preliminary release.
The recently disclosed CVE-2014-0160 vulnerability – heartbleed read overrun – in OpenSSL may impact OSSEC installations where OSSEC was deployed with OpenSSL support, either when built from source or installed from RPMs. In particular this issue leaves ossec-authd open to attack.
Our friends at AlienVault have created and now host Debian packages of OSSEC for Ubuntu Wheezy, Jessie and Sid. See the Downloads page for the links to the packages and AlienVault’s repositories. Thanks to OSSEC Project team member Santiago Gonzalez for taking the time to create these packages and AlienVault for hosting them
OSSEC is moving from bitbucket to github, and in the process moving to a new method for accepting contributions. This is an exciting change that we feel will help push OSSEC forward in 2014 and further into the future.
