  • SWATCH http://sourceforge.net/projects/swatch/ — The Simple WATCHer (SWATCH) uses log files generated by syslog to alert administrators of anomalies based on user configuration files. SWATCH was designed to log any event that the user wants to add into the configuration file; however, it has been adopted widely as a host-based IDS.
  • LIDS http://www.lids.org/ — The Linux Intrusion Detection System (LIDS) is a kernel patch and administration tool that can also control file modification with access control lists (ACLs), and protect processes and files, even from the root user.
