about Samhain (software)

Samhain is an integrity checker and host intrusion detection system that can be used on single hosts as well as large,
 UNIX-based networks. It supports central monitoring as well as powerful (and new) stealth features to run undetected in memory, using steganography.

Main features

  • Complete integrity check
    • uses cryptographic checksums of files to detect modifications,
    • can find rogue SUID executables anywhere on disk, and
  • Centralized monitoring
    • native support for logging to a central server via encrypted and authenticated connections
  • Tamper resistance
    • database and configuration files can be signed
    • log file entries and e-mail reports are signed
    • support for stealth operation
