Sguil: adding support for ModSecurity alerts

Posted on Aug 30, 2006

I’m a huge fan of both Sguil and ModSecurity, but sadly the alerts generated by ModSecurity can’t show up in Sguil… or… can they? Well, if it all works out, soon they can!

Today I have hacked together a perl script that emulates barnyard for ModSecurity. It very much in a proof-of-concept phase, but it somewhat works already, at least good enough so i can show this screenshot.

Sguil author Bamm Visscher told me that the next release of Sguil will have support for having barnyard and PADS on the same sensor. By then, i hope that ModSecurity can be added to that list! :-)
