| Description: | Libprelude is a collection of generic functions providing communication
between all Sensors, like IDS (Intrusion Detection System), and the Prelude
Manager. It provides a convenient interface for sending and receiving IDMEF
(Information and Event Message Exchange Format) alerts to Prelude Manager with
transparent SSL, fail-over and replication support, asynchronous events and
timer interfaces, an abstracted configuration API (hooking at the command-line,
the configuration line, or wide configuration, available from the Manager), and
a generic plugin API. It allows you to easily turn your favorite security
program into a Prelude sensor. |
