this Cybersecurity Platform is FREE

[@l3eant0wn02110]

Security practitioner/professional here.. this walkthrough is excellent, and this can easily be done in small business env's as well as in a individual's personal home. The cost of entry is just the time it takes to learn, but this can be done by anyone with some time and motivation. You don't even need dedicated computers or servers, this can be done on a Rasberry Pi.

[@briccimn]

I gree and am very hopeful, but time is the problem... I think one can't spend all day long working on computers and in the free time doing the same.

[@Manavetri]

The presentation is excellent, giving real examples, not like the vast majority of KZbinrs who say what is theoretical and that's it. It would be great if you could make a series of videos on wazuh, setups, examples, case studies, etc. Again, brilliant, and thanks for sharing, total genius.

[@geroldmanders9742]

While the software is explained pretty clearly, I have some reservations. On a completely fresh Ubuntu Server 20.04.06 VM (ProxMox) without any extras installed. I followed the links provided in this video and it said this version of Ubuntu is fully supported. The quick install script starts and crashes after a while. The on-screen instructions tell me to extract a generated archive to continue the the installation. That generated archive, well, it isn't generated. Ah well, just scrap the current VM and restore a snapshot I created just after installing Ubuntu Server and retry. Nope. the quick insatll script failed again. Different generated archive failure. Scrap it and restore the snapshot again. Again the script fails, again the first generated archive failure. Found a manual for manual (offline) installing the software, but is is very involved. That method took also a lot more than 5 minutes. But that method at least worked. Once the software runs, it does look good.

[@briccimn]

@@geroldmanders9742 these software ARE convoluted. Still, the necessity of lurking into dozen of configuration scripts is the problem. You know, they are aimed to system admins, well, but the home-labbers or technicians who want to replicare some high level systems with their customers, need the knowledge of large-scale business, but are on their own. Keeping all the knowledge to gear those things is also not so simple, although it is intriguing to learn about. You yourself faced with the installation issue. I cannot declare it is the norm, but sometimes it is frequent. Take me, I'm in the 50ish, and notbeing a digital born, I have always aimed to learn as much as possible in IT, and am still able to learn and follow or guide my customers into digital world, but for me and few other colleagues who participate into this research of nice and powerful tools (ProxMox, TrueNAS, UNRAID, network security tools, NAS self-construction...) the hardest wall to splash your face to is the issue prone systems that those software lead. I also face frequently with VM problems, so putting a test bench on, is a matter of build physical hardware that has costs, and consumes time.

Instant like and suscribe. However there is a pb at 27:50 : before deleting the file [Which in effects just unlink the file, ie deletes the directory entry helping to point the actual file : if that file is still running or opened, it would still be present and active!] it should instead do first : sudo lsof -Pn and try to see if that exact file (matching the inode!!, 8th field in the lsof -Pn and 1st field in ls -ild) and kill any pid (2nd field) matching this inode. Only then, after another lsof check, delete (=unlink) the file. Making sure to not kill the script itself of course ^^.

[@galopeian]

Very cool tool. I'm going to try this out. Would also highly recommend that everyone reads at least a few of the CIS Benchmark PDFs to harden your system manually. It's actually very fun to do it all the way through.

​@@RTCW-ET-MOVIESI mean I'm sure you can do it just by kicking of a script or even a command remotely that does something like simple like apt-get update and boom its done.

I think that would make this virtually the ultimate free SIEM.

@@RTCW-ET-MOVIES for automatically deployed to every node, using a daemonset or statefulset, to prevent duplicate agent, mount the wazuh agent key to the host to prevent regenerating key when redeploy the pod, so the master will recognize as existing agent instead of a new one

HAHAHA...I should have my head examined thoroughly. I just spent the last 2 days trying to set this up exactly as you did. I could not for the life of me, get the Agent to connect to the Manager. I'm going to take a break and come back to it. Thank you John for the information.

[@_JohnHammond]

Be careful that your "manager" server does not have the same hostname as any of your agents. When I tried cloning my VMs from a flat Ubuntu image, since I didn't change the hostname from "ubuntu" on the manager server and "ubuntu" on the client agent, it couldn't see the agent (since the 'server' practically is an 'agent'). That's why I force-name mine to "linux" in the video 😅

[@dlcrdz00]

@@_JohnHammond Thanks for the insight, John. My manager and agent had different hostnames but I found out that my two VM's (Linux) had the same IP Address.

@@_JohnHammond So I got it to work finally. I had to change my network adapter on the Server/Manager to Bridge, and it connected to my Agent. I am assuming that cloning the VM copied the IP Config also.

This seems like a really useful and interesting SIEM tool. It does however suffer from the main problem infecting all Linux projects.

I haven't digged too much into my cybersecurity company, though I know for sure we have these "wazuh" agent installed into our clients and we pay about 40k / year (Europe). We have about 500 clients / servers and obviously support for questions, incidents etc... So at this point... do they actually customize these "wazuh" agents for monitoring stuff (Firewall, Antiviruses etc..) for free and resell them? Is the price any good in your opnion?

[@kc-me6wl]

Interesting question - thank you! would love to hear response back to this!

[@andrewhughes459]

They are probably creating the active responses, decoders, and rules themselves as Wazuh doesn't really implement much in the default state.

[@jameslucas583]

Have you asked them to explain what they do versus the cost? Systems like Wazuh are quite easy to install but then they have to be optimised, monitored and managed. That is potentially quite a skilled and labour intensive task. It is quite valid to charge for a service that adds value based on open source software. Also worth noting that Wazuh is a component of the Security Onion open source security distribution so if they are working with this you may be getting more bang for your buck in addition to the rather good Wazuh.

[@z3tssu]

Man thanks for this John! I recently implemented Wazuh in my organization but haven't dived deep into all its features like your showcased today. One question, is there a way to configure a single wazuh agent that can be applied to all endpoints?

[@andrewhughes459]

Yes, you can modify the default agent ossec.conf on the server and it will deploy it to the agents when they are enrolled.
