Samhain Console is a central management console for the Samhain file integrity and intrusion detection system. It is web-based and provides centralized control of system security. It allows you to monitor threats, respond to alerts, and analyze system vulnerabilities.
Beltane is a software tool that enhances the Samhain file integrity / intrusion detection system, by providing a web-based central management console. Using Beltane, administrators can browse client messages, acknowledge them, and update centrally stored file signature databases with ease.
In order to use Beltane, a Samhain (version 1.6.0 or higher) client/server installation is required, with file signature databases stored on the central server, and logging to a SQL database enabled. The Samhain daemon keeps a memory of file changes, so the file signature database only needs to be up to date when the daemon restarts and downloads the database from the central server.
Beltane allows you to use the information logged by the client in order to update the signature database. This software is written in PHP4 (and also works with PHP5), with some additional components written in C.
On the client side, Beltane requires a Javascript capable browser, and cookies must be enabled. Although Mozilla/Firefox is recommended, most inferior browsers may work as well.
Documentation is provided as SGML and HTML files within the tarball, and it is advised to read the documentation before attempting to install Beltane. Overall, Beltane is an efficient and user-friendly software tool that can be easily incorporated into a Samhain client/server installation for enhanced functionality.
