Best Practice Auditd Configuration

Utilities for Sysmon

Osquery is a unified endpoint monitoring framework that exposes operating system internals as relational tables. By representing hardware, network, and process activity as structured data, it allows users to retrieve system state and configuration information using standard SQL syntax. The system distinguishes itself through a cross-platform abstraction layer that normalizes disparate operating system interfaces into a consistent schema across Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports both interactive local analysis via a command-line shell and distributed fleet orchestration, where recurring qu

OSSEC v4.1.0

go-audit is an alternative to the auditd daemon that ships with many distros

Velociraptor is a digital forensics and incident response platform, endpoint detection and response system, and visibility tool. It provides a query engine and remote forensic collector used to hunt for indicators of compromise and perform triage across a fleet of hosts. The system is distinguished by its specialized query language for interrogating host state and parsing binary files. It features a notebook environment that combines markdown documentation with executable query cells to standardize investigative workflows and enable collaborative reporting. The platform covers a wide range o

Wazuh is an integrated security platform that combines endpoint detection and response, security information and event management, and cloud workload protection. It functions as a centralized system for collecting telemetry, aggregating logs, and correlating events across distributed infrastructure to maintain security and integrity. The platform distinguishes itself through its active response orchestration, which allows for the automated execution of scripts on remote endpoints to neutralize threats in real time. It provides deep visibility into system activity through file integrity monito

Sysdig is a Linux system observability tool and kernel event analyzer designed for capturing and analyzing kernel-level system calls and operating system events. It functions as a system call tracer and container security monitor, providing deep visibility into the activity of machines, virtual machines, and containers. The project specializes in non-invasive container inspection, allowing for the monitoring of container activity and resource usage without modifying the container environment or adding instrumentation. It enables the recording of detailed system traces into binary files for re

Santa is a binary authorization system for macOS designed to control and monitor which binaries can execute based on defined trust rules. It functions as application whitelisting software that prevents unauthorized programs from running by verifying them against cryptographic hashes and signing certificates. The system provides execution monitoring by recording every binary launch event to create a visible software execution trail. It enables centralized audit logging to track successful and denied application launches across multiple devices, ensuring enterprise device compliance through syn

The file provided should function as a great starting point for system monitoring in a self-contained package. This configuration and results should give you a good idea of what's possible for Sysmon. Please beware that you may need to fine tune and add exclusions depending on your environment.…
