I have installed and configure OSSEC as agent and server for monitoring the
system level changes like files, integrity, log monitoring, packages
changes, ports changes etc.

Not monitoring any network related stuff though.

I noticed on the GitHub Security Onion Wiki that it requires a Span Port
- “For a production deployment, you'll need a tap or SPAN/monitor port.
Here are some inexpensive tap/span solutions:”. These solutions look like
they are not compatible with AWS.



My findings are that AWS does not support Span, Tap or Mirror on their
network layer to get a copy of traffic to inspect which is needed for
Network IDS. so I am confused as to how this solution could be deployed for
NIDS on AWS. Same thing holds true for Snort.



I have only been successful finding Host Based IDS solutions for AWS which
require an Agent on each node. Either they do the IDS analysis on the node
itself or do a “soft-tap” on the host’s network adapter (Not at the VPC
Perimeter) and pass it to an IDS manager.



How do you do inline HIDS on AWS is my question. I am coming up with a lot
of the same questions out there but no answers.



Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Rodgers for reply,



I am running my production environment on public cloud Amazon Web Services
(AWS), where i don't have control for installing iso/img etc.



Is SecurityOnion equivalent to OSSIM ?

Hi,



Is it possible to install snort in IDS mode on multiple servers (AWS EC2
instances ) and have a central server where analysis can be done through
gui and also alerts/notification can be managed like OSSEC ?



If yes, what is the tools to use and how to move ahead?
