audit daemon

The Audit Package is one of the most amazing software packages for Linux, as it offers many useful user-space utilities to create audit rules, store, and search audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel. With this package, users can easily manage, track and review individual processes and determine which processes are generating security events.

To use the utilities, users can follow these general instructions. In window 1, type "./auditd." Then, in window 2, you can try out a few things. For instance, you don't need to have the daemon running, but you need to make sure that the daemon is enabled. To do this, type "./auditctl -s." You can also add audit rules using "./auditctl -a entry,always -S open" and see the list of classes and system calls by typing "ls." If you want to delete an audit rule, enter "./auditctl -d entry,always -S open."

Another useful feature of the Audit Package is identity tracking. To track user identity, type "./auditctl -a exit,always -S all -F loginuid=2000," while to check the UID, enter "./auditctl -L 2000,"test UID." With these commands and features, the Audit Package proves to be an all-around excellent package for auditing and providing comprehensive security.
