SAMHAIN v3.1.2 - File Integrity Checker / Host-Based Intrusion Detection System
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.
Samhain been designed to monitor multiple hosts with potentially different operating systems, providing centralized logging and maintenance, although it can also be used as standalone application on a single host.

The client/server architecture allows central logging, central storage of baseline databases and client configurations, and central updates of baseline databases.
» Web-based management console
The web-based Beltane console, available as separate package, allows to monitor server and client activity, view client reports, and update the baseline databases.
» Flexible logging
Samhain supports multiple logging facilities, each of which can be configured individually.
» Tamper resistance
Samhain offers PGP-signed database and configuration files, a stealth mode, and several more features to protect its integrity.
