Adaptive Security Analyzer Pro

"Adaptive Security Analyzer Pro is a security and threat intelligence application that allows the expertise and methods of the security specialist to be modeled so that security data can be rapidly and effectively transformed into actionable intelligence. ... ASE continuously monitors high volume, heterogeneous security-related data; freely interprets & associates event attributes to organically cluster system activity; recognizes and quantifies the extent of abnormal events; advises security personnel of the factors that contributed most to the abnormal events' classifications."

Deception ToolKit

"DTK simply listens for inputs and provides responses that seem normal (i.e., full of bugs). In the process, it logs what is being done, provides sensible (if not quite perfect) answers, and lulls the attacker into a false sense of (your) insecurity."

Platform(s): Unix.

Osiris

"Osiris is a Host Integrity Monitoring System that periodically monitors one or more hosts for change. It maintains detailed logs of changes to the file system, user and group lists, resident kernel modules, and more. Osiris can be configured to email these logs to the administrator. Hosts are periodically scanned and, if desired, the records can be maintained for forensic purposes. Osiris keeps an administrator apprised of possible attacks and/or nasty little trojans. The purpose here is to isolate changes that indicate a break-in or a compromised system. Osiris makes use of OpenSSL for encryption and authentication in all components."

tcptrack

"tcptrack is a sniffer which displays information about TCP connections it sees on a network interface. It passively watches for connections on the network interface, keeps track of their state and displays a list of connections in a manner similar to the unix 'top' command. It displays source and destination addresses and ports, connection state, idle time, and bandwidth usage."

Open source.

ThreatSentry

"ThreatSentry is an advanced neural application that uses a complex automated learning process, a knowledge-base of documented exploits, and an analysis model specifically designed for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), to continuously collect, analyze and organize server events into an evolving baseline of acceptable activity. Each server connection is compared against the baseline to identify and take action against any activity falling outside of acceptable parameters. ThreatSentry is configurable to prevent suspicious connections, block untrusted IPs, generate error code responses, or stop web services entirely. ThreatSentry also generates Security Alerts that can be displayed centrally or locally on screen or sent via pager or cellular phone. Intuitive management interfaces enable administrators to easily adjust event classifications to achieve progressively enhanced system accuracy."

Tiny Honeypot

"Tiny Honeypot (thp) is a simple honey pot program based on iptables redirects and an xinetd listener. It listens on every TCP port not currently in use, logging all activity and providing some feedback to the attacker. The responders are entirely written in Perl, and provide just enough interaction to fool most automated attack tools, as well as quite a few humans, at least for a little while. With appropriate limits (default), thp can reside on production hosts with negligible impact on performance."

Platform(s): Perl.
